Hi perldigious,

To answer the other part of your question: If you wanted to propose a new warning, you'd do so to the Perl 5 Porters, perhaps as a new "wishlist" priority bug report. However, from being a lurker on P5P for quite some time, I don't think a new warning would be added without there being a lot of usefulness to it, and the warning, its implications, implementation etc. need to be well thought-out. Also, a lot of things can be done outside core Perl, for example, obvious re-uses of a filehandle, at least in the same lexical scope, could be detected with a Perl::Critic policy, perhaps based on a modified Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::RequireBriefOpen. Of course, another way to prevent your bug would be to be more careful with the lexical scoping of filehandle variables ;-)

Hope this helps,
