in reply to Catch STDERR in variables via open() failed?

Did perl 5.6 even support opening a stream into a scalar like that? Off the top of my head, I _think_ that's a newer feature than 5.6...

Do you wind up with a file in the current directory with a name something like "SCALAR(0x1002f0a0)"?

close(STDERR) followed by that same open into a variable does work under 5.8.7, if that helps...
