I can't see anything wrong witth your code - as you say, there ain't that
much of it.
The one points I can mention (apart from the usual -w and use strict;) is
that you don't chdir into anywhere so you may not be running where you think
you're running. Also, there's no error checking, so if you are running in a
directory where you don't have write access the open will fail without any
warning.
Hope these help.
