in thread Is there a problem with using barewords as filehandles ?

When (if) bareword filehandles are disallowed, will we still be able to do: print STDERR 'ok';

If bareword::filehandles is anything to go by, then STDIN, STDOUT, STDERR, ARGV, ARGVOUT, and DATA would still be allowed.

    If bareword::filehandles is anything to go by ....

    Aaah, yes - I'll take my cues from bareword::filehandles. Seems likely (even if not actually guaranteed) that this would be something we "can go by".
    So far, so good - the changes I've made are working ok under use bareword::filehandles;
    Thanks haukex.

    Cheers,

      True, and BTW, another very good hint that they will stay is that the same filehandles are also listed in the new standard.pm.
