FWIW, I don't like much the approach of patching only slurp_file(). What gives us the guarantee that we won't have this discussion again in a couple of months or years once a new caller of open() is added for some new TAP tests, and that it has the same problems with multi-process concurrency?
I agree on that, from a technical stand point, overloading open() is probably the best solution for the reasons above mentioned. My doubts come from the effort such a solution will take and its maintainability, also taking into account that there are not that many calls to open() in "src/test/perl".
