in thread How do I read the contents of a file?

Seeing that no one is using IO::File to open files, I will state the alternative (preferred) method of file handling.
I've seen this designation "preferred" several times now. This isn't an attack, but a genuine question. What is the source for this? I see in perl5004delta that the IO:: family is preferred over the older FileHandle module, but nowhere do I see any reference to open() being no longer the preferred way to open files.
