See: http://www.perl.com/pub/2002/06/11/threads.html?page=2 (at the end) The key is the handling of the undefined case.

 *CORE::GLOBAL::open = sub(*;$@) {
        # push @OpenCalls, [ @_[1..$#_] ];

        if (defined($_[0])) {
            use Symbol ();
            my $handle = Symbol::qualify($_[0],(caller)[0]);
            no strict 'refs';
            if(@_ == 1) {
                return CORE::open($handle);
            } elsif(@_ == 2) {
                return CORE::open($handle, $_[1]);
            } else {
                return CORE::open($handle, $_[1], @_[2..$#_]);
            }
        } else {
            if(@_ == 1) {
                return CORE::open($_[0]);
            } elsif(@_ == 2) {
                return CORE::open($_[0], $_[1]);
            } else {
                return CORE::open($_[0], $_[1], @_[2..$#_]);
            }
        }
    };

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
