Well, I don't know of any specific function to close all filehandles at once.
You could:
1) Keep track of them in an array, loop through the array and close them all
individually.
2) Do nothing and let them close automatically at the end of the program's
run.
Do you really need to open so many? I find I get confused if I have more
than three or so files open and actively in use at the same time. Then
again, I have a short attention span.
