I did find this out though. There is a "table" of filehandles (or really PerlIO structures) in perlio.c. This is what is iterated across when you exit perl. What I need to do is write some C code that will provide a function that will return this table as a list of filehandles. It would be cool though if this already existed, but I'm not seeing it.
