What is the result of this code....?	Can't Post

I know what this code does:

Code

open(STDERR, ">&STDOUT")

That re-opens STDERR to STDOUT, causing all prints to STDERR appear in STDOUT.

But what does this code, and what is the result/effect of it in a CGI program?

Code

open(STDERR, ">&STDIN")

Well, the only thing I can think of that this does is causes all errors reported to STDERR to be ignored. If you actually try this by carping something after the open command, and then read the STDIN, there are 0 bytes there. I guess if you don't care if your program ever writes an error then you might want to use this ???
