It appears that the Major Domo at Perl Mongers does not like to see certain
words in messages. I guess that "sub" is one such word. The code example
should have the "#" at the beginning of each line removed.

Here is an example for creating local file handles from the Camel Book, page
51:
#sub newopen {
# my $path = shift;
# local *FH; # not my!
# open (FH, $path) || return undef;
# return *FH;
#}
#$fh = newopen('/etc/passwd');
