Not true. Save the following code in a file called "test.pl" and run
it with "perl -w test.pl":
######## begin code
use strict;
open(IN_FILE1,"test.pl");
while(<IN_FILE1>) {print}
######## end code
As you can see, this code runs without any warnings or errors.
IN_FILE1 is a FILEHANDLE, not a "file pointer variable" (whatever the
heck that is). More to the point, it is not a variable at all, and so
is not affected by "use strict;".
