This is a bug report for perl from dagolden@cpan.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.14.2.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

Calling stat() on a tied handle warns, even if the tied handle has
a defined, non-negative fileno.  Example:

$ perl -MTie::StdHandle -wE 'tie *FOO, 'Tie::StdHandle', "/etc/services"; print scalar readline *FOO; say fileno *FOO; stat(*FOO)'
# Network services, Internet style
3
stat() on unopened filehandle FOO at -e line 1, <HANDLE> line 1.

The bug is still in blead.

The same warning used to occur for scalar filehandles, but it
was fixed in the 5.15 development series.
