You are generating temporary files with invalid names and ignoring the function return code of open(). You should not use the following code, but use one of the temporary filename creation methods available in CPAN modules (perhaps IO::File->new_tmpfile(), but there is probably a better one).
use strict;
use warnings;
my $localtime = scalar localtime;
my $tmp = ".txt";
my $logfile = $localtime.$tmp;
$logfile =~ tr/ /-/;
open( OUTFILE, ">$logfile" ) or die "couldn't open $logfile\:$!\n";
print OUTFILE "Hello";
close(OUTFILE)

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).
