Is it required to manually close a file handle I used

Seems like a waste of effort at the end of the script to
test `if debug...` and close the fh after?

Not required no... that is, it won't cause an error, but I think many
folks here will say you should do it... after all its only a tiny
amount of effort.



You should always close the file handle and check for errors. Otherwise you won't know about them. This applies to both input and output.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.

I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.

Eliminate software piracy:  use only FLOSS.
