Tied Filehandles

To tie a handle, tie the glob in which it resides:

        tie *FH => 'Package', ...;

Tied handle objects must support several methods:

        CLOSE
        GETC
        PRINT
        PRINTF
        READ        (for 'read')
        READLINE    (for '<>')
        WRITE       (for 'syswrite')
