Bug #65209 for File-ExtAttr: Bug in _is_fh of File::ExtAttr

Hi! I am using File::ExtAttr to read and write SELinux attributes. In my application I get stray messages like this: Can't call method "isa" without a package or object reference at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/File/ExtAttr.pm line 206. I am using file names instead of File::IO objects and there seems to be a problem in the detection function _is_fh. I cannot provide a simple reproducer - If I just run something like getfattr("/etc", "selinux", { namespace => "security" } ); in a simple script, it remains silent. I guess it is one of the many other CPAN modules I use that changes the behavior. The fix I found (which seems right to me) is to add local $SIG{'__DIE__'}; as the first line in the eval block in _is_fh. You may want to add that in your code.
