Why? This feature existed long before open had 3 arguments, why would it suddenly change.

I didn't think it would use normal perl open internally. Given that two-arg open enables command execution and that at that time only one- and two-arg open existed, I think it should have opened files by other means.

But we live in a world that has three-arg open now. It's time to change, imo.
