classic filehandles° and indirect object syntax are a PITA constantly causing trouble.

may I suggest you use the approach to call print as a direct method?

> perl -de0 ... DB<108> open my $x, ">", \$out; $h{k}=$x DB<109> $h{k}->print("bla") DB<110> p $out bla DB<111> open FH, ">", \$out2; $h{k2}=FH DB<112> $h{k2}->print("bla") DB<113> p $out2 bla DB<114>

NB: I directed the output to $out vars only for demo purpose, it will work with all destinations.
