I'm not a perl expert, but it seems that

     open STDOUT, ">/dev/null";

is parsed as

     open (STDOUT), ">/dev/null";

rather than

     open (STDOUT, ">/dev/null");

which seems to be contrary to what the perl manual says, but without the
parens, the tail commands all failed with EBADF; with them, it works.
