in reply to $_[0] as a filehandle

There are a few reasons. First of all, you're using a reference to a glob as a filehandle - that's bound not to work. Also I'm not really sure what you're doing with split in myFonc; you might want to rethink that code. I would advise using lexically scoped filehandles. Something like this:
my $fh; open $fh, "<$myFile" or die "blah"; myFunc($fh); sub myFunc { my $fh = shift; while(<$fh>) { # do something } }
This works.

    Uh... "Bound not to work"?

    perl -le '$x = \*STDOUT; print $x "Bzzzt."'

    That used to be the "accepted" way of passing handles around... :-)

      Yes, you're right. I should have tested it out before making that claim. :) I still prefer lexically-scoped filehandles whenever possible, but thanks for pointing out my mistake.

    On the contrary, it bounds to work. As sauoq pointed out in his 1st reply, the problem is on the receiving side, not the passing side.

    I tested, his Fonc actually worked, but not Func. You must have noticed that it passes the handler to them in exactly the same way, but Fonc and Func receive the parameter differently.
