Check your precedence. The code you showed does not do what you think. 

$ perl -Mstrict -wE 'say -e "fooble" ? 1 : 0; open my $fh, "<", "foobl
+e" || die $!'
0

$ perl -Mstrict -wE 'say -e "fooble" ? 1 : 0; open my $fh, "<", "foobl
+e" or die $!'
0
No such file or directory at -e line 1.

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
