Perlcritic does not want to see the trailing pipe in the two-args
form of open(), i.e.
open my $fh, "$cmd \Q$file\E |";
If $cmd were a single-token command name, it would make a lot more
sense to use four-or-more-args form "open FILEHANDLE,MODE,CMD,ARGS"
to avoid shell from expanding metacharacters in $file, but we do
expect multi-word string in $to_cmd and $cc_cmd to be expanded by
the shell, so we cannot rewrite it to
open my $fh, "-|", $cmd, $file;
for extra safety. At least, by using this in the three-arg form:
open my $fh, "-|", "$cmd \Q$file\E";
we can silence Perlcritic, even though we do not gain much safety by
doing so.
