I am unable to debug the Perl script, but I see another possibility: due
to the error message you quoted ("Could not open `/dev/fd/3': Bad
address"), I would be inclined to think that the:

  fcntl $fh, Fcntl::F_SETFD(), 0
      or die "xdvi: disabling close-on-exec for temporary file: $!\n";

piece of code doesn't work anymore (due to a bug in the Fcntl Perl
module or in its use, I couldn't say).
