    Not quite. This gives an error message: 
    No such class IN at ./714572.pl line 10, near "open my IN"
syntax error at ./714572.pl line 10, near "my IN,"
Execution of ./714572.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

    moritz's code has it right because he uses a lexical filehandle. He also uses the recommended 3-argument form of open and checks its status: 

    open my $in,  '<:raw', 'infile.dat' or die $!;

      Look out for the open parameters.
      You should distinguish between IN in file handle context and my $IN as scalar.
      my IN probably won't work while my $IN would.
