UTL_FILE - How do I call its funcs/procs form a stored proc

I am writing a package that will create various flat ascii files but have been unsuccessful in my attempts to utilize oracles utl_file package to do my file i/o. example:
  handle :=sys.utl_file.fopen('/unixdirectory','flatfilename.dat','w')

various errors occur regarding the handle declaration (I've tried various declarations - number,binary integer,char).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Andrew Johnson
