Win,

You attempt to print to the (undeclared) filehandle OUTPUT without opening it first. Read perlopentut. 

use strict;
use warnings;
my $FILEHANDLE = undef;
open ($FILEHANDLE, "> you.win.again.txt") or die "open failed";
print $FILEHANDLE "I couldnt figure why\n";
print $FILEHANDLE "You couldnt give me what everybody need\n";
print $FILEHANDLE "I shouldnt let you kick me when I'm down\n";
print $FILEHANDLE "My baby\n";
close $FILEHANDLE or die "close failed";
__END__
