Crake is relaying a perlcritic error:

https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=crake&dt=2022-07-18%2020%3A36%3A30
Jul 18 16:48:25 ./src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/parse.pl: Bareword file handle opened at line 30, column 1. See pages 202,204 of PBP. ([InputOutput::ProhibitBarewordFileHandles] Severity: 5)

afaict that's bogus. It's unnecessary that the code uses "our" instead of
"my", but there's no bareword there and replacing our with my fixes that
complaint.

Am I misunderstanding something here?
