in reply to lexical vs. local file handles

FWIW there is a school of thought that considers braces around the { $filehandle } a best practice. I use it, inconsistently though–

print $fh, "something\n";
# …becomes…
print { $fh }, "something\n";
# …which then tells you…
syntax error at -e line 1, near "},"
# …so you know to…
print { $fh } "something\n";
