perl - 为什么打开undef不会失败？

Question

这段代码像我期望的那样死掉：

use strict;
use warnings;

open my $fh, "<", "" or die $!;

但这不会：

use strict;
use warnings;

open my $fh, "<", undef or die $!;

这里发生了什么？

Answer 1

open函数有很多小怪癖，这是其中之一：

作为一种特殊情况，具有读/写模式且第三个参数为“undef”的三参数形式：

open(my $tmp, "+>", undef) or die ...

打开一个匿名临时文件的文件句柄。也使用“+<”来实现对称，但您确实应该考虑先向临时文件写入一些内容。您将需要 seek() 进行阅读。

虽然，正如评论中的 ysth 所指出的，文档强烈建议这只发生在“+<”和“>+”模式下。我相信这是实现行为的代码。它不检查模式。我不知道这是否是一个错误，但会在与 P5P 交谈后报告。

        }
    }

显然，该文档已于11 月在 blead perl 中修复：

 Perl is built using PerlIO by default.  Unless you've
