I understand that you want to pass filehandles to functions with the added feature that if user specified ...
Alas it seems I did not understand exactly. In my code above I assume that you will open a file using open my $fh, ... and that you pass around that filehandle and not a literal string/bareword representing also a filehandle, which gets complicated, having to specify also package names. So, in the code I provided the part open $fh, '>', 'xxx'; is essential. The following works for me:
{
package main;
my $fh = undef;
VRML::printout('some lines1', $fh);
open $fh, '>', 'xxx';
VRML::printout('some lines2', $fh);
close $fh;
}
{
package VRML;
sub printout {
my ($lines, $_fh) = @_;
my $fh = $_fh ? $_fh : *STDOUT;
print $fh $lines;
}
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
