My 1 cent on this. I like to pass as few items to subs as possible. If I inherit subs with file handles being passed, then so be it.
My environments, typically 60 users or less, don't give me any grief when opening files in the subs. If I had 500 users then I may think differently. No flames please. I like testing subs at TCL and the external OPEN's get in the way.
