This looks fine to my eyes; the only objection is the annoying amount of markup required: 

# Write results to output file.
open my $out_fh, '>', $out_filename
    or die "Couldn't open $out_filename for writing";
say {$out_fh} $indata;
close $out_fh 
    or die "Couldn't close $out_filename";

Output:
XYZ XYZ XYZ XYZ XYZ 
XYZ xyz foo ATGC atgc JAPHATGC
XYZ 
XYZXYZXYZ

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
