Hi Colin,

Also, `<<>>' doesn't support `-' to mean stdin.
That might affect users of the groff Perl scripts that use `<>'.

    $ pacman -Q perl
    perl 5.28.1-1
    $
    $ perl -e 'while ( <> ) {}' - </dev/null
    $ perl -e 'while (<<>>) {}' - </dev/null
    Can't open -: No such file or directory at -e line 1.
    $

Cheers, Ralph.
