Since 'print FH "foo"' was in Perl 4, before objects indirect or
otherwise were invented, it should be left alone. OTOH, I would vote for
killing
    STDOUT->print("foo");
given that it's not the least bit clear how perl decides STDOUT is a
filehandle and not a class name.

that image, that ghastly, grey-billowing, double-barrelled fall, repeated
twelve times every day. Full of children. [Iain Banks]         ben@morrow.me.uk
