Tommy has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
tommy@blessed ~/ $ perldoc -f fileno fileno FILEHANDLE Returns the file descriptor for a filehandle, or undefined if the filehandle is not open. ... (Filehandles connected to memory objects via new features of "open" may return undefined even though they are open.)
...So I am really wondering if some perlio guru out there could elaborate on that last statement of the perl documentation for fileno(). What, pray tell, is it talking about?
While I am doing my own research, I still appreciate the insight my monkly bretheren may have to offer. Many thanks for the insight.
