A bit late maybe, but related to something I was working on (you
might have read a recent post).
From perldoc perltie:
--8<---
=head2 Tying FileHandles
X<filehandle, tying>
This is partially implemented now.
-->8---
and later
--8<---
Tied filehandles are still incomplete. sysopen(), truncate(),
flock(), fcntl(), stat() and -X can't currently be trapped.
-->8---
IMHO 5.10 seems to be *the* moment to take away the last
limitations for tied filehandles and implement these missing parts,
as well as making my test case do as expected: format/write should
go through the tied handle and not bypass it.
