Summary says it all; at the moment, ebuild.sh isn't affected by closing stdin in the global scope, although enhancement's I'm working on are (pretty nastily I might add).

For dev-perl/IPC-ShareLite, you're after killing stdin only for the src_compile phase I'd assume (perhaps install also); why not do what net-www/swish-e does, and close it -only- in the applicable phase?

Yo.  It's still evil.
Why is it in the global scope?

Fixed. Who's to say why mkennedy took that approach. Not one us perl dev's use.
