Yup. From perldoc perlopentut:
Another convenient behavior is that an indirect filehandle
automatically closes when it goes out of scope or when you undefine it:
sub firstline {
open( my $in, shift ) && return scalar <$in>;
# no close() required
}
See the whole section "Indirect Filehandles" for more.
