in thread Perl quiz for beginners

If you're asking specifically about the default filehandles, they're all full caps,

If you are talking about STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR then perl has always (AFAIK) supported the lower case versions stdin, stdout and stderr although ARGV, ARGVOUT and DATA have to be upper case.

$ perl -le'print for grep /^std/i, %::' stderr stdout stdin STDOUT STDERR STDIN $ perl -v This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi Copyright 1987-2009, Larry Wall

    Does it support Stdin, Stdout, and Stderr? Because that's how the answers were worded: In ucfirst format. (And if it does, then holy cow, I'm still a beginner!)
