if (!$fhandle->fdopen(*STDERR, "a"))
I'm not really sure if it can be used like that... the documentation says:
$io->fdopen ( FD, MODE )
"fdopen" is like an ordinary "open" except that its first p
+arameter is not a filename but rather a file han-
dle name, an IO::Handle object, or a file descriptor number
+.
I don't know if a typeglob is acceptable there. OTOH if it were not one would expect the call to fail... isn't it that *STDERR is being considered numeric and equal to 0 there?
$ perl -le 'print 0+*STDERR'
0
Mind you, I'm just wild-guessing... in doubt try with fileno STDERR (==2 if you haven't changed it!)

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).
