Change this to
open IN, "<$val" or die "Can't open $val for input: $!\n";
You have the arguments to open backwards, and if you want to use ||, you
should us parentheses to make sure the boolean logic of the statement is
correct (|| and 'or' are not equivalent -- there was a big thread on it
yesterday).
