What

Replaces placeholder ???? in tied FileHandle warning messages with actual file path and caller location.

Why

When print is called on a read-only mock handle, the warning was:

Filehandle ???? opened only for input at ???? line ???, <???> line ???. at .../FileHandle.pm line 143.

This gives the user zero useful information. Real Perl says:

Filehandle $fh opened only for input at script.pl line 9.

How

  • All tied handle methods (PRINT, PRINTF, READLINE, GETC, EOF) now use $self->{'file'} for the path and caller() for the correct source location
  • Messages end with \n to prevent Perl from appending the FileHandle.pm location
  • Added missing warning for printf on read-only handles (real Perl warns, the mock was silent)
  • Added test coverage for the printf warning

Testing

  • Full test suite passes (94 files, 1589 tests)
  • Verified warning output matches real Perl format with actual file paths and line numbers

The PRINT method used literal '????' placeholders in its warning message,
and all tied handle methods (READLINE, GETC, EOF) pointed to FileHandle.pm
instead of the user's code. Now all methods use $self->{'file'} for the
path and caller() for the correct source location, matching real Perl's
warning format. Also adds the missing warning for PRINTF on read-only
handles.
