I double checked the code and haven't found any typo: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

$file = @ARGV[0];
$out_file = $file.".out";
my $count = 0;

print "Processing file: $file\n";
print "Output file: $out_file\n";

open FILE, "$file" or die "cannot open $file file";
open OUT, ">>$out_file" or die "cannot create $out_file file";

#go through the file rows
while (<FILE>) {
        chomp;
        # if row contain non-ASCII symbols - it is counted
        if ($_ =~ /[[:^ascii:]]/) {

                print "String before modification:\n $_ \n";

                s/[[:^ascii:]]/q{<} . unpack(q{H2}, $1) . q{>}/eg;

                print "String after modification:\n $_ \n";
                print OUT "$_\n";
                $count++ ; }
        else {
                print OUT "$_\n";
        }
}

print "there are $count possibly corrupted rows\n";

close FILE;
close OUT;
