That's the problem, it doesn't, but maybe the OP thinks that filehandle is global so it can be used directly from another package (hard to tell without some form of telepathy), and this is the error print would give in that case.	[reply]

Why would one package’s `LOG` affect another’s? Perhaps through typeglob aliasing ᴀᴋᴀ importing? `LOG = OtherPack::LOG{IO}` Mind you, there are handles that when used without package qualiﬁcation do get auto-qualiﬁed into `main::` rather than into the current package as one might otherwise expect. `STDIN`, `STDOUT`, and `STDERR` work that way, although `stdin`, `stdout`, and `stderr` are only in `main::`. I wouldn’t suggest using `ARGV`, `ARGVOUT`, or `_`, the `stat`-cache handle, since all are already used by Perl for their own purposes. But I don’t see why you couldn’t use an `ENV` ﬁlehandle, for example, as a sort of über-global. I don’t believe that one’s spoken for yet. The other one that appears available for such subterfuge is a `SIG` ﬁlehandle. But I don’t really suggest it: it would probably just get you talked about. 😒	[reply] [d/l] [select]
