NAME FileCache::Handle - A FileCache using IO::Handle instances SYNOPSIS use FileCache::Handle; $FileCache::Handle::MAX = 16; my @a; for (my $i = 0 ; $i < 100 ; $i++) { my $o = new FileCache::Handle("/tmp/$i"); binmode($o, ':utf8'); push @a, $o; } for (my $i = 0 ; $i < 3 ; $i++) { foreach my $o (@a) { print $o "Output ",$o," $i\n"; } } DESCRIPTION FileCache::Handle, like FileCache, avoids OS-imposed limits on the number of simultaneously open files. Instances behave like file handles and, behind the scenes, real files are opened and closed as necessary. FileCache::Handle uses instances of IO::Handle, and so works well with 'use strict'. NOTES The only operations supported are 'print' and 'binmode'. To add more, create a glue method that delegates the call to the handle returned by '_allocate()'.
