Error Perl IO vs GLOB symbols

Hi,

Can someone please clarify how we are able to use both IO and GLOB symbols of a package variable interchangeably?

Please consider the following code:
Code:
open(FH,"myfile") || die "Unable to open file myfile:$@";
my $glob_var = *main::FH{GLOB};
my $io_var = *main::FH{IO};
print $glob_var "From glob\n";
print $io_var "From IO\n";
close FH;

Now 'myfile' contains,
Code:
From glob
From IO

Thanks,
Srini

Locale::Constants(3pm)					 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				    Locale::Constants(3pm)

NAME
Locale::Constants - constants for Locale codes SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Constants; $codeset = LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2; DESCRIPTION
Locale::Constants defines symbols which are used in the four modules from the Locale-Codes distribution: Locale::Language Locale::Country Locale::Currency Locale::Script Note: at the moment only Locale::Country and Locale::Script support more than one code set. The symbols defined are used to specify which codes you want to be used: LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2 LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_3 LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC You shouldn't have to "use" this module directly yourself - it is used by the three Locale modules, which in turn export the symbols. KNOWN BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
None at the moment. SEE ALSO
Locale::Language Codes for identification of languages. Locale::Country Codes for identification of countries. Locale::Script Codes for identification of scripts. Locale::Currency Codes for identification of currencies and funds. AUTHOR
