Thank you very much for your help. This is my last coding after some modification based on your advise. Please guide me if I am wrong. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Cwd;
use warnings;
use strict;
use Getopt::Long;

use constant FILEHDR => 4;
use constant CDRLEN  => 286;

my ($trace, $help, $infile);
my $swap = '';
my $indir  = getcwd;
my $outdir = getcwd;

GetOptions (
    "h|help"    => \$help,
    "filename|f=s"    => \$infile,

) or usage();


sub usage {

}

my $outfile = $infile;
my $data;

if ($infile) {
    #open (OUTPUT, ">$outdir/$outfile");
    open (DATA, "$indir/$infile");
    binmode DATA;
    
    until (eof DATA) {
        read (DATA, $data, 2);
        my $tag    = unpack "H2", substr $data,0,1,'';
        my $length = unpack "C", substr $data,0,1,'';
        $length -= 2;

        if ($length == "81") {
            $length = unpack "C", substr $data,0,1,'';
            $length -= 1;
        }

        if ($length > 0) {
            read (DATA, $data, $length);

            my $rec      = unpack "H*", substr $data,0,$length,'';
