You need to lose the braces around the argument to close because Perl is interpreting that as an anonymous hash (as "use warnings" will tell you). This works for me:

use strict;
use warnings;
my %files;
open $files{"foo"}, '>', "xyz"   or die "open failed: $!";
print { $files{"foo"} } "done\n" or die "print failed: $!";
# close { $files{"foo"} };    # oops: 'Odd number of elements in anony
+mous hash'
close $files{"foo"};          # works ok
