in reply to check if a filehandle is STDOUT when using use strict;

It depends on what do you mean by filehandle is in fact STDOUT. E.g. consider the following:

$ perl -E'open my $foo, "<&=1"; say $foo->fileno; say $foo == \*STDOUT + ? "STDOUT" : "Not STDOUT"' 1 Not STDOUT

    I can assume that it gets assigned the value of \*STDOUT I.E. $file= \*STDOUT ;
