You can store a filehandle is a variable, so why not use an array of filehandles, e.g. open($aFiles[$i], ">>"$filename")?

Note: apparently print doesn't like print $aFiles[$i] "Some text" so you will have to assign the file handle to a scalar before using it, something like this:

use strict;
use warnings;

my @aFiles;
for (0..2) {
  my $sFile = "foo.$_";
  open($aFiles[$_], '>', $sFile) or die "$sFile: $!";
  my $fh = $aFiles[$_];  #make print happy
  print $fh "Hello World\n";
  close $fh;
}
