I have been running into this error: "Too many open files"
Sorry for the lack of detail. The problem is that the error comes up in
odd places, so I have found it difficult to golf down into Raku program
that always fails with this error.
When I separate out the code that leads to the error, and create another
program, Raku handles it without difficulty. It seems to occur when
there are a lot of moving parts, so to speak.
I am not explicitly opening file handles, but the software I have
written is using the idiom
"some-filename.html".IO.spurt( $an-accumulated-string );
Obviously, filehandles are being opened under the hood. Having written a
file, there is no need to reference it again, so I could close the
filehandle.
I have been told that because of the way garbage handling is
implemented, there is a problem with file handles. If so, what is a
safer idiom to use in place of and IO on a string, so that the handle
can be closed immediately after use?
Appreciate some help on this.
Richard
