The C<close> function would need to be altered so it can accept some modifiers, as is the case when you wish to close a socket. close read $socket; close write $socket; close noshutdown $socket; # assuming close shutdown is the default. C<close> will act on a B<fileobject> (or C<$_> if none is specified). A method must be developed for registering classes as event handlers. This has many more general applications than just for C<open>, and so should be addressed in a separate RFC.
