Hi, so I've done this script now --- my fourth perl script ever --- and since I'm getting so much help here, I thought I'd post it here. I'm sure it could be done much better, it's just plain and simple.
It has one problem: The list of closed files can grow indefinitely, and since the script checks whether a file that has been closed is already listed, performance will degrade with the number of files on the closed list increasing. This check isn't exactly needed and can be removed; other than that, I don't know (yet) what to do about that. In any case, I come to really like perl :)
