This is actually a followup to: Re: codeopen INPUT opened only for output

a) yes I was able to get it to work with a double dup to save STDOUT (see b below) however I don't understand why I cannot recover STDOUT by one of: 

open(STDOUT, '>-');
open(STDOUT, '>&=1');

b)The folloing is similar to what you posted with some updates *but* if you run it with -w -Mstrict you get: Name "main::SAVE" used only once: possible typo 

use POSIX;
local $/ = undef;
my $chldoutput;
my $TRAP = POSIX::tmpnam();

print "Gonna use $TRAP\n";
open(SAVE1, ">&STDOUT");
open(SAVE2, ">&STDERR");
close(STDOUT);
open(STDERR, ">$TRAP");
open(STDOUT, ">>$TRAP")  || die("$!: $TRAP"); #+> didn't work
eval "print STDERR 'Scary... ';print 'Waka waka!'";
close(STDOUT);
close(STDERR);
open(STDOUT, ">&SAVE1");
open(STDERR, ">&SAVE2");
open(INPUT, $TRAP) || die("$!: $TRAP");
$chldoutput = <INPUT>;
print "ABC: $chldoutput\n";
unlink($TRAP);
