It's possible you're using a version of perl that doesn't support the
:scalar IO layer; what version of perl are you using?

    perl -v

Depending on how mimedefang-multiplexor is implemented, it may be linked
against a different version of perl. Is mimedefang-multiplexor a Perl
script? Something compiled? If compiled, what does ldd return?

Also, try:

    perl -wE 'open(my $fh, ">:scalar", \$s) || die $!; say $fh "Hi"; say $s;'
