It's also kind of odd when your filehandle is not a simple scalar or bareword:
That's something that also bugs me - why is a filehandle a bareword, but every other bareword gets smacked down by strict?
Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
