5FileCache - keep more files open than the system permits

7=head1 SYNOPSIS
8
9 cacheout $path;
10 print $path @data;
11
12=head1 DESCRIPTION
13
14The C<cacheout> function will make sure that there's a filehandle open
15for writing available as the pathname you give it. It automatically
16closes and re-opens files if you exceed your system file descriptor
17maximum.
18
19=head1 BUGS
20
21F<sys/param.h> lies with its C<NOFILE> define on some systems,
687277c3 22so you may have to set $FileCache::cacheout_maxopen yourself.
