No need to guess - this is writen explicitly in "perldoc -f print":
<blockquote>
               FILEHANDLE may be a scalar variable name, in which case
               the variable contains the name of or a reference to the file-
               handle, thus introducing one level of indirection. 
               ...
               Note that if you're storing FILEHANDLES in an array or other
               expression, you will have to use a block returning its value
               instead:

                   print { $files[$i] } "stuff\n";
