5 FileCache - keep more files open than the system permits
14 The C<cacheout> function will make sure that there's a filehandle open
15 for writing available as the pathname you give it. It automatically
16 closes and re-opens files if you exceed your system file descriptor
21 F<sys/param.h> lies with its C<NOFILE> define on some systems,
22 so you may have to set $FileCache::cacheout_maxopen yourself.
