Isn't the fact that we have:
open(FILE "$filename")another big one? (I'm getting back into Perl after a year of two of Java)
open(FILE "<$filename")is a good idea to ensure that even if the user is able to access files that they shouldn't using this script, at least they can't replace foo.txt with my_evil_virus.txt.
