I don't know how complex your program would be, but I usually just use,

$ cat file.txt
a
b
c

$ cat stdin.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -l
while (<>) {
 $_ = uc;
 print;
}

$ perl stdin.pl file.txt
A
B
C

$ cat file.txt | perl stdin.pl
A
B
C

Or, just perl -lpe '$_=uc' if it's really that simple. Anyway, I don't see anything wrong with your code.

Update: Fixed missing -l (only the dash was there). Thanks almut :-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
