You can't get there from here (was Re: Reading in from CLI (UNIX))

Using three-arg open for '<&3' would be a good idea, if only it were possible. But my docs say it's not, at least in 5.6. Quoting perldoc -f open:

Duping file handles is not yet supported for 3-argument open().

<getsmart>Missed it by this much.</getsmart>

D'oh. It is supported in bleadperl, which was the documentation that I looked up before posting... My bad.	[reply]
