## NAME

FileCache - keep more files open than the system permits

## SYNOPSIS

        cacheout $path;
        print $path @data;

## DESCRIPTION

The `cacheout` function will make sure that there's a filehandle open for writing available as the pathname you give it. It automatically closes and re-opens files if you exceed your system file descriptor maximum.

## BUGS

`sys/param.h` lies with its `NOFILE` define on some systems, so you may have to set $FileCache::cacheout_maxopen yourself.
