i/o and file handles
• open files are identified via file handles
• uppercase handle names by convention
• predefined file handles: STDIN, STDOUT, STDERR
• <FILEHANDLE> in a scalar context reads the next record from the file
• <FILEHANDLE> in a list context reads ALL of the remaining records from
the file
• filenames must be specified using POSIX HFS syntax instead of MPE
syntax
