No, see "perldoc perldiag":
"-T" and "-B" not implemented on filehandles
(F) Perl can't peek at the stdio buffer of filehandles when it
doesn't know about your kind of stdio. You'll have to use a file-
name instead.
So the problem is that OpenBSD has a stdio that is not what the Perl authors
anticipated, because it requires peeking behind official interfaces. Perl
isn't flawed. :)
