Just an aside.

That's what you get if you do a bitwise OR on two strings "O_RDWR" and
"O_CREAT".

The barewords O_RDWR and O_CREAT are in fact intended as functions that
are defined in Fcntl.pm . So, if Fcntl is used, you'll get the correct
(numeric) value for "O_RDWR|O_CREAT".

I do think it's silly that Perl doesn't complain in a more appropriate
way about those barewords.
