Try this

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

my $readLine = "";
#open a file for writing the converted values
open OUTFILE, ">hex.txt" or die "Error : Could not open [$!]";
#open the file to read the dec values
open INFILE, "dec.txt" or die "Error : Could not open [$!]";
while (<INFILE>)
{
  chomp;
  $readLine=$_;
  # Do you conversion here and write into another file
  $hexval = sprintf("%x", $readLine);
  print OUTFILE $hexval,"\n";
}
close INFILE;
close OUTFILE;

check your code, the variable name is $readLine not $readline. Alos made some changes to the file operation.
cheers!

regards,
Ahamed
