=head1 NAME FileHandle - supply object methods for filehandles cacheout - keep more files open than the system permits =head1 SYNOPSIS use FileHandle; autoflush STDOUT 1; cacheout($path); print $path @data; =head1 DESCRIPTION See L for complete descriptions of each of the following supported C methods: print autoflush output_field_separator output_record_separator input_record_separator input_line_number format_page_number format_lines_per_page format_lines_left format_name format_top_name format_line_break_characters format_formfeed The cacheout() function will make sure that there's a filehandle open for writing available as the pathname you give it. It automatically closes and re-opens files if you exceed your system file descriptor maximum. =head1 BUGS F lies with its C define on some systems, so you may have to set $cacheout::maxopen yourself. Due to backwards compatibility, all filehandles resemble objects of class C, or actually classes derived from that class. They actually aren't. Which means you can't derive your own class from C and inherit those methods.
