in reply to Propose addition to use warnings?

I don't understand your question. Do you mean Perl should warn when you pass a closed filehandle to a subroutine?

There's nothing inherently wrong in passing a filehandle: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

main(@ARGV);

sub main {
    my ($file1, $file2) = @_;
    open my $fh, '<', $file1 or die $!;
    print "first: $_" while <$fh>;
    close $fh;

    again($fh, $file2);
    print "again: $_" while <$fh>;
}

sub again {
    my ($fh, $name) = @_;
    open $fh, '<', $name or die $!;
}

    Yes, that's what I was asking about, but reading davido's reply makes me think that may not be a reasonable expectation. Perl just usually spoils me by telling me when I'm trying to do something that's probably stupid, and this is a case where I was and it didn't. :-)

      Well to perl's credit, it *did*, but just later on, and inside of an edge-case conditional statement ;)
