Ok, I've been pouring over this trying to figure out what you're referring to. Reading my local docs on open, I don't see any open examples that don't use typeglobs (well, one uses a lexical, the rest use typeglobs). Further, I'm redirecting STDERR - a typeglob. I am not introducing new typeglobs (other than a localised version of STDERR), and am attempting to keep anyone from using that global. So I'm not sure how it's relevant to cleaning up the hack anyway - I'm trying to modify a built-in typeglob, so I think I pretty much have to use that typeglob.

Second, I'm not sure how your help is related to the questions I actually had. I suspect that you didn't intend to answer those, but unless I can be sure about your intentions, I have to assume you may have had a gem in there that I'm currently unable to grasp that would help my codepage conversions (whose code I didn't show, I conceded I couldn't boil it down yet, and doesn't use typeglobs at all).

So I'm a bit confused. Any clarification would be helpful.
