Re: Close all open file descriptors

The module Proc::Daemon closes all file handles before it forks. Here's the code snippet from its Init function...

## Close open file descriptors
foreach $i (0 .. OpenMax) { POSIX::close($i); }

Ewww! Okay so it works, and I have to admit I thought of that general idea too, but iterating over all possible descriptors? That's just inelegant. And POSIX is still so like, heavy, man.
