Always use my; never use local. Personally, I always choose lexicals over package-global variables if I have a choice. But if you're working with `STDOUT` and `STDERR`, then that's what you've got to work with, and local is the right tool. (And don't blame the poor, innocent `SEND: { ... }` block if you've got code somewhere that's stepping on your global file handles. :) Give a man a fish: `<%-{-{-{-<`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
