The brackets are in the wrong place.
The other answers were just far to clever & cryptic.
Hehe how true.
What this
open (OMARFILE, "<junk" || die "input file cannot be openned:$!\n");
does is
open(OMARFILE, ("<junk" || die "input file cannot be openned:$!\n"));
and because "<junk" is true, die is never called and we have just
open(OMARFILE, "<junk");
What I recommend instead is
open OMARFILE, 'junk' or die "Input file cannot be opened: $!";
