If you're on Unix (and you didn't say if you are), you can open
a file that depends on both $$ and "time", as in:
open RESULT, ">result.$$.".time or die ...;
This will result in a unique filename even if multiple processes are
hitting it at once. Unless you happen to have 30,000 submissions a
second. :)
