You can mitigate some of that risk by Cizing the symbol first, but that's pretty ugly. Since Perl 5.6, you can use an undefined scalar variable as a lexical reference to an anonymous file handle or directory handle. Alternatively, see the L or L modules for an object-oriented approach. opendir DH, $some_dir; #not ok opendir *DH, $some_dir; #not ok opendir \*DH, $some_dir; #not ok opendir local *DH, $some_dir; #not ok opendir $dh, $some_dir; #ok opendir my $dh, $some_dir; #ok opendir our $dh, $some_dir; #ok opendir local $dh, $some_dir; #ok my $dh = IO::Dir->new($some_dir); #ok And Perl7 will probably drop support for bareword filehandles. =head1 CONFIGURATION This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. =head1 SEE ALSO L L L =head1 AUTHOR Jeffrey Ryan Thalhammer , C, C =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2005-2011, 2021 Imaginative Software Systems.
