For a minute there I thought you were on to something, but
alas it turned out to be an incorrect assumption. Here is
how I see it...
In the code Test module Test.pm 'makes a copy' of the STDOUT filehandle
$TESTOUT = *STDOUT{IO};
This has the same effect as below:
open( TESTOUT, ">&STDOUT" ) || die "dup failed";
In either case Perl comes back complaining that: "A file
or directory in the path name does not exist at ...".
Which means that the last parameter in the 5.6.1 version
of open must point to a string with a path/filename.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
