in thread unquoted string error??!!

And what do you do when a user comes to you unhappy that the old standard copy pattern:
print OUTPUT while <INPUT>;
Has no corresponding clean translation? HHow do you explain that one to them? There is no nice story here: lexical filehandles can too easily break several standard practices that people have come to rely on more than they realize. It is never a pleasant task to explain these strange failures that can result.

Can you explain what you mean?
