Oog. I didn't know you could bless globs

( Globs Glob refs ) are blessable and globs are tieable. Similarly, all IOs are blessed.

>perl -e "open $fh, '-'; print *$fh{IO}
IO::Handle=IO(0x22532c)

>perl -e "print *STDOUT{IO}
IO::Handle=IO(0x225cfc)

That means all IOs can be used as objects.

>perl -e "STDOUT->flush()
Can't locate object method "flush" via package "IO::Handle"

>perl -e "use IO::Handle; STDOUT->flush()
