Here are suggestions on how to fix it (noted in the discussion on p5p): * check for nul in the string before -f, always treating nul-containing strings as data strings; * discriminate between pathnames and data entirely based on looking like a data string, with no -f check at all; * suppress that category of warning in some narrow scope around -f; * drop the dual-use interface in favour of separate interfaces for pathnames and data strings.
