I personally believe that you were very kind to let me know. But at the same time I must say that I have actually tested it several times (well, three files, actually) under Windows and it worked as expected: was I just lucky?
So... I used open because it seemed the quickest and cleanest WTDI, but what do you propose as a workaround or solution? (Short of manually open()ing the files of course...)
Update: I just actually checked with one single jpeg image and found an actual example that supports your claim. Incidentally, I would say that open.pm's docs do not make it clear enough that it won't work with <>.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
