It's really a shame that a filehandle can't be supplied as the filename parameter to open(). As it is, many (most?) Perl modules don't work correctly under Windows because their interfaces use filename parameters and can't handle Unicode filenames.

    So, behaving as if the mode was <& instead of < when a handle is provided? Interesting. You could submit the idea to the Perl devs (perl5-porters@perl.org).
