Is the a way to use a variable file name with strict refs on??

Yup. 

use strict;
use warnings;

my @filehandle;

my $num_handles=2;

for my $num (1..$num_handles) {
  open my $fh,">c:/File$num.txt" 
     or die "Cant open File$num.txt for writing: $!";
  push @filehandle,$fh;
}

my $fh=$filehandle[0];
print $fh "Hello\n";

The idea is to use anonymous filehandles (much safer than glob style filehandles) and then store them in an array. The only trouble is that you have to copy the value into a scalar to print to it. However you can bypass this by using the OO file interface. All you have to do is add 
use IO::Handle;

to the top and change the assignment and print to 
$filehandle[0]->print("Hello\n");

BTW, when you posted did it look funny to you? Please take more care with your posts.

Anyway :-), HTH
