Depends. The easiest way to find out is this one:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my @handles;
my $count;
while(1) {
open my $fh, "</etc/passwd" or die "died at $count";
push @handles, $fh;
$count++;
}
prints
died at 1020 at ./t line 7.
so that's it :). I would suggest that you find a compromise between
good performance and not running out of file handles by having the
appender maintain a configurable pool of file handles that it keeps open.
