+The C<open> tutorial has been completely rewriten by Tom Christiansen, and now
+focuses on covering only the basics, rather than providing a comprehensive
+reference to all things openable.  This rewrite came as the result of a
+vigorous discussion on perl5-porters kicked off by a set of improvements
+written by Alexander Hartmaier to the existing C<perlopentut>.  A "more than
+you ever wanted to know about C<open>" document may follow in subsequent
