1. When dup-ing a filehandle something strange happens:
open (f1, ">foo1");
open (f3, ">&f1");
print f1 ("Hello");
print f3 ("world\n");
The output file contains "world\nHello" instead of "Helloworld\n".
2. This seemed straighforward to do:
my $f1; my $f3;
open ($f1, ">foo1");
open ($f3, ">&$f1");
print $f1 ("Hello");
print $f3 ("world\n");
However, the second open fails with 'Invalid argument'.
