Technically, even `/` is a mount point — or are you talking about the (raw) devices?	[reply]

You are wrong. The `binmode FILEHANDLE` operator in Perl is a no-op on POSIX, just as the binary mode option to fopen(3) is a no-op on POSIX. I said this was a portability problem, and it is a portability problem, but programs that never use `binmode` will handle binary data just fine on POSIX. They will fail on other systems where text and binary streams are actually different.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The `binmode FILEHANDLE` operator in Perl is a no-op on POSIX Sorry, no - it still removes any non-default layers that may be present on the filehandle. Even a handle opened with the default `open my $fh, '<', ...` can have layers other than the normal defaults present due to the `PERLIO` environment variable or the open pragma.

So it is now equivalent to `binmode FILEHANDLE, ':raw'`? Point accepted, although it was a no-op when I learned Perl in the 5.6 era and seems to remain so absent the special configuration that you mention. None of my scripts omitting `binmode` on POSIX have blown up, but I do not have `PERLIO` set nor do those scripts `use open`. (Nor will those scripts ever be distributed in their current forms, as I know that they are not portable.)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
