If you want to catch this sort of thing, you could try using Perl::Critic. For example, running the default perlcritic command on your example code:
use strict;
open FH, ">test.txt" or die "not able to open file for writing $!";
produces three warnings, as shown below:
# perlcritic blah.pl
Bareword file handle opened at line 2, column 1. See pages 202,204 of
+ PBP. (Severity: 5)
Two-argument "open" used at line 2, column 1. See page 207 of PBP. (
+Severity: 5)
Code before warnings are enabled at line 2, column 1. See page 431 of
+ PBP. (Severity: 5)
