[Israel.pm] Open files in recursion

[Gaal Yahas]

Instead of "DICT", use "my $dict".

Also, you might want to keep track of all the files you'd already
opened, to quickly find cyclic includes. Not strictly necessary
because you already have a depth guard, but useful if only to give
better error messages.
