in thread Is there a problem with using barewords as filehandles ?

Sorry for nitpicking but they are package variables not full globals.

No need to be sorry! You are quite correct and it's an important distinction. It has been so long since I actually used a user-defined bareword filehandle that I had forgotten that they are indeed package scoped.
