I was wondering the same.

To (ab)use 2-arg open in the way the OP describes, he has to do some trickery like:

C:\>perl script.pl ">outfile"
C:\>rem Or
C:\>perl script.pl ^>outfile
[download]

which will effectively hide the output redirect from the cmd and result in an $ARGV[0] containing >outfile.
