Thanks for that link! Some interesting stuff in your thread which wasn’t discussed here in mine. Seems like clobbering `IO::Handle::DESTROY` is the only way to do this, but that it’s at least reliable. Maybe I should put IO::Handle::CheckedAutoclose on the CPAN or something. `:-)` Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

I don't like the extra scope and the fact that it's `local` at best. If you do put it on CPAN, make a note to say it isn't thread safe.	[reply] [d/l]

I’d want it global. Otherwise I’d subclass IO::Handle and instantiate that class instead; that works just as well and won’t conflict with anything else. How does overriding `DESTROY` break thread safety? Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
