I think that you can brute force that by walking the entire symbol table, taking all the typeglobs named "DATA" and close()ing them. If you want to be really really horrible and close all file handles (or a subset such all handles that don't turn out to a tty), even those that are no longer referenced via symbol tables, you can probably do this with XS by walking the SV arenas.
