Surely it _has_ to be circumfoeces?

I've completely stopped using them in any setting other than

	while (<>) {

If I'm opening files explicitly and using filehandles, I'll use filehandles
that stow nicely in lexical scalar variables and use named operators on 'em.
If I'm globbing, I'll use grep on DirHandles --- the <> glob operator blows
chunks when the directory comes to exceed some OS-dependant size.
