there are no good uses of 2 arg opens?
Regarding perlopentut, I've been able to follow about a 1/10 of what
I've read so far, but I must say that many (of at least the early)
examples appear to be 2 arg opens.
In fact a whole boat load of them do, but here people have seemed to
be indicating that 2 arg opens are bad, no one has shown a good use of
a two arg open in this thread.
Yet, in perlopentut, they are all over the place.
A recent complaint in the Perlsphere is that the documentation for open
is old. Some day it will get fixed.
There is nothing you can do with the 2-arg open that you can't do with
the 3-arg one. And the 3-arg one lets you do more. It is the preferred
method.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
Eliminate software piracy: use only FLOSS.
