You're allowed to put whitespace in between the mode
and filename, but you can't put any before the mode.
These snippets are equivalent to
open OFILE, '<', ' +> /tmp/aa.lst'
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ filename
^ mode
So just remove the leading space, or use the 3 argument form.
open OFILE, '> /tmp/aa.lst'
open OFILE, '>', '/tmp/aa.lst'
