+=head2 readline() no longer clears the stream error flag
+
+C<readline()>, also spelled C<< <> >>, would clear the handle's error
+flag after an error occurred on the stream.
+
+The error flag is now only cleared when an error occurs when reading
+from the child process for glob() in F<miniperl>.  This allows it to
+correctly report errors from the child process on close().
+
+Since the error flag is no longer cleared calling close() on the
+stream may fail and if the stream was not explicitly closed, the
+implicit close of the stream may produce a warning.
