Well, I don't believe my example included duplicate filehandles :)

Yes, technically I guess the <filehandle> is a variable of type integer that
points to the file. This is how you keep track of which file you are working
on. Otherwise, it would/could be tedious to do with the filename. There's
more to it than that, but you need a way to reference a file.
