in reply to Re^4: FileHandle objects as data members of another object
in thread FileHandle objects as data members of another object

Hmm. fopen/open on Windows (the userspace C stdio and unix-like API) have limits like that but the underlying OS facilities don't (unlike Unix - the per-process limit there is a kernel thing).

I'd naively thought that native (non-cygwin) perl would have gone all the way down to OpenFile() and friends rather than use the unix-like versions.

You learn something every day.
