Now you have a filesystem that will be easy to fill up:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Fatal qw( open close );

chdir '/mnt';
{
   open my $fh, '>', 'prova.dat';
   print {$fh} "ciao\n" for 1 .. 1000000;
   # close $fh;
}

print {*STDERR} "should be closed here!\n";

In my system, the final string on STDERR gets printed when the close above is commented; uncommenting the close triggers the fatal error:

Can't close(GLOB(0x814cd4c)): No space left on device at (eval 2) line
+ 3
        main::__ANON__('GLOB(0x814cd4c)') called at ./prova.pl line 13
