From Steffen_Ullrich@genua.de

Created by Steffen_Ullrich@genua.de

Binding STDIN to a scalar, e.g. "open(STDIN,'<',\$x)" makes fd 0
inaccessable in the future. with lsof from perl it looks like that
the fd 0 is then bound to PerlIO.pm forever.
Even forking does not help.
The side effect is that children startet with IPC​::Open2 or
"open(X,'|prog')" cannot read from stdin, e.g. they try to read
from fd 0 which is bound to something else.

The following script shows the problem and a possible workaround
(line 9​: closing the fd 0 manually using POSIX​::close).

The problem exists at least with perl5.8.6 on OpenBSD3.7 and
perl5.8.4 an Linux (Kubuntu 5.04).

  1 use strict;
  2 use POSIX;
  3
  4 open( STDIN,'</dev/null') || die $!;
  5 p();
  6 my $content = 'bla';
  7 close(STDIN);
  8 open( STDIN,'<',\$content ) || die $!;
  9 ##### POSIX​::close(0); <<<<< workaround
  10 p();
  11 close(STDIN);
  12 open( STDIN,'</dev/null' ) || die $!;
  13 p();
  14 system( "fstat -p$$" );
  15
  16 sub p() { print "XXX fileno=".fileno(STDIN)."\n" }
