That value should always be checked to ensure that the open was successful. my $error = open( $filehandle, $mode, $filename ); # ok open( $filehandle, $mode, $filename ) or die "unable to open: $!"; # ok open( $filehandle, $mode, $filename ); # not ok use autodie; open $filehandle, $mode, $filename; # ok You can use L, L, or L to get around this. Currently, L is not properly treated as a pragma; its lexical effects aren't taken into account. =head1 CONFIGURATION If you create a module that exports C you can tell this policy about it with the C setting: [InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls] autodie_modules = My::Thing =head1 AUTHOR Andrew Moore =head1 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This policy module is based heavily on policies written by Jeffrey Ryan Thalhammer . =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2007-2011 Andrew Moore.
