Nit: it's perlcritic; critique is used to refer to the output of a critic.

   we cannot rewrite it to

   open my $fh, -|, $cmd, $file;

 for extra safety.  At least, by using this in the three-arg form:

   open my $fh, -|, $cmd \Q$file\E;

 we can silence Perlcritique, even though we do not gain much safety
 by doing so.

Yeah, I think this is the right thing to do.

This means that if some later code refactoring parses $tocmd once and
passes an array around, it would be easy to change this to

open my $fh, -|, @$cmd, $file;

and there would be no temptation to do something involving pasting
@$cmd back together into a single string.  Of course such a
refactoring is not very likely, but that kind of thing is a good
reason to prefer this style in general.

So for what it's worth, I like this patch.
