I have an array of entries which will be search in a large file, each entry is then written to its own output file. the array varies based on certain conditions and therefore has to be dynamic.

Here is my example `array`.

```
use strict;
use warnings;

my @array = ("ABC",
             "DEF",
             "GHI",
             "JKL",
             "MNO",
             "PQR"
             );

```

So I created a loop to open create a filehandle for each of the entries. run my commands, then a loop again to close the filehandles.

```
foreach my $handle(@array) {
        my $output = "OUTPUT_$handle.txt";
           open ($handle, '>', $output) or die "unable to open file $!";
}

#... write to files and do some other fancy stuff ...

foreach $handle(@array) {
           close $handle;
    }

```

Which will create: `OUTPUT_ABC.txt` `OUTPUT_DEF.txt`.. etc.

So my question: It seems to feel very awkward for me to have to loop through opening each and loop closing each handle, is there a more elegant method to open and close file handles dynamically?
