Then fix the documentation!

I think I should fix the scripts. I don't think that's their intended behavior.

Changing Perl because documentation of applications is incorrect or incomplete isn't the way to go.

To be clear. I don't actually propose to make this change, I understand that this would broke a lot of things including quite healthy scripts which use something like already mentioned

BEGIN {s!^(\s)!./$1!,s/^/</,s/$/\0/ for @ARGV}

Just in disagreement with your position I think that

• this feature is not so useful
• it's weird and error prone
• it's make easy things harder
