The statement: 'The code below, in Perl 5.8.8 and 5.10.9 prints 1\n three times' is incorrect and confusing... I'm guessing you are confusing the different versions of perl...

Running 'the code below':

Perl version: 5.006

Use of uninitialized value in print at t.pl line 24.

Undefined subroutine &main::_ called at t.pl line 28.

Perl version: 5.008

Use of -l on filehandle _ at t.pl line 24.
Use of uninitialized value in print at t.pl line 24.

Undefined subroutine &main::_ called at t.pl line 28.

Perl version: 5.008008

Use of -l on filehandle _ at t.pl line 24.
Use of uninitialized value in print at t.pl line 24.

Undefined subroutine &main::_ called at t.pl line 28.

Perl version: 5.008009

Use of -l on filehandle _ at t.pl line 24.
Use of uninitialized value in print at t.pl line 24.

Undefined subroutine &main::_ called at t.pl line 28.

Perl version: 5.010000
