NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::Freenode::BarewordFilehandles - Don't use bareword filehandles other than built-ins

DESCRIPTION

       Bareword filehandles are allowed in "open()" as a legacy feature, but will use a global package variable.
       Instead, use a lexical variable with "my" so that the filehandle is scoped to the current block, and will
       be automatically closed when it goes out of scope. Built-in bareword filehandles like "STDOUT" and "DATA"
       are ok.

         open FH, '<', $filename;     # not ok
         open my $fh, '<', $filename; # ok

       This policy is similar to the core policy Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::ProhibitBarewordFileHandles,
       but allows more combinations of built-in bareword handles and filehandle-opening functions such as "pipe"
       and "socketpair".
