+=head1 NAME
+
+Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::ProhibitBarewordFileHandles - Write C<open my $fh, q{<}, $filename;> instead of C<open FH, q{<}, $filename;>.
+
+=head1 AFFILIATION
+
+This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic> distribution.
+
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+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 C<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. Alternatively, see the L<IO::Handle> or
+L<IO::File> or L<FileHandle> modules for an object-oriented approach.
+
+ open FH, '<', $some_file; #not ok
+ open my $fh, '<', $some_file; #ok
+ my $fh = IO::File->new($some_file); #ok
+
+There are three exceptions: STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. These three
+standard filehandles are always package variables.
+
+
+=head1 CONFIGURATION
+
+This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
