Subject: [PATCH 2/5] gitweb: Do not use bareword filehandles

From: Jakub Narebski <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 10 May 2009 02:36:19 +0200

The script was using bareword filehandles.  This is considered a bad
practice so they have been changed to indirect filehandles.
Changes touch git_get_project_ctags and mimetype_guess_file.

While at it rename local variable from $mime to $mimetype (in
mimetype_guess_file) to better reflect its value (its contents).

Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::ProhibitBarewordFileHandles

  Write open my $fh, q{<}, $filename; instead of open FH, q{<}, $filename;.

  Using bareword symbols to refer to file handles is particularly evil
  because they are global, and you have no idea if that symbol already
  points to some other file handle. You can mitigate some of that risk by
  'local'izing the symbol first, but that's pretty ugly. Since Perl 5.6, you
  can use an undefined scalar variable as a lexical reference to an
  anonymous filehandle.

See also Damian Conway's book "Perl Best Practices",
chapter "10.1. Filehandles" (Don't use bareword filehandles.)

This follows similar patch for git-send-email.perl by Bill Pemberton
