in thread opening files using handles, objects etc

Thinking about it... It would make sense to convert all possibilities to just the one in my object, would it be better to store it as a file handle or an IO::File object? I'm only writing text to the file, not doing anything special. Oh and reading from another file.

    Well thought; I recommend expecting a IO::Handle object... That way, you leave it up to the users if they're passing plain old perl handles, or IO::Scalar or their own implementation on a handle.
