in thread On Backwards Compatibility and Bareword Filehandles
Another problem is philosophical: removing features from the language because you do not like that style is not the Perl way.
I continue to fail to understand this argument. Who is saying "bareword filehandles should go away solely because I don't like the style"
Can you do Chesterton's Fence here? What technical arguments are there for discouraging bareword filehandles? Or, to make this easier, undeclared barewords in general?
