You can also use this to store your file handles in a hash which can be useful. You can even use an anonymous block to determine which handle to use at runtime. From perlfunc:print (>5.6?)
Note that if you're storing FILEHANDLES in an array or other expressio
+n, you will have to use a block returning its value instead:
print { $files[$i] } "stuff\n";
print { $OK ? STDOUT : STDERR } "stuff\n";
