my $file = "verInfo.txt";
unless(open FILE, $file) {
 # Die with error message
 # if we can't open it.
 die "\nUnable to open $file\n";
}

Do you get any error? Did you check if there's a error message in $!? Does the output not match your expectations, and if so what did you expect and what did you get?

Sorry for asking so many questions, but my crystal ball is getting tuned today.
