=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<perlvar> for complete descriptions of each of the following supported C<FileHandle>
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<sys/param.h> lies with its C<NOFILE> define on some systems,
so you may have to set $cacheout::maxopen yourself.
Due to backwards compatibility, all filehandles resemble objects
of class C<FileHandle>, or actually classes derived from that class.
They actually aren't. Which means you can't derive your own
class from C<FileHandle> and inherit those methods.
