Sorry, looks like I should have included an example on sysopen():
# Open files like sysopen()
$fo = open $file, IO::File, O_CREAT, 0644;
This is similar to how FileHandle opens files, providing a sysopen
interface if the system args are passed. We could make sysopen() a
shortcut to this, or remove it outright (I probably prefer the former).
I agree, we should keep syswrite(), sysread(), and so on intact. Either
that or, as you suggest, find a way to integrate system-level and
higher-level stuff together.
