syphilis has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

In following the kerfuffle on p5p about the planned release of perl 7, I've noticed a repeated claim that use of barewords as filehandles will be disallowed in perl 7.
What's so wrong with doing open RD, '<', 'file.txt' ?

Is there some official perl documentation about any such issue ?

Cheers,
Rob
