It's supposed to be a filehandle, which is what Perl gives you when
you call open().  For example, let's say my file is
/home/sam/face.jpg:

   open(my $fh, "<", "/home/sam/face.jpg")
    or die "Unable to open: $!";

Now $fh contains a filehandle suitable for reading the contents of
/home/sam/face.jpg.
