don't use @ARGV stuff like that before you check that you have args.
always check for success with open calls
also use lexical handles for i/o.
all of these are common points you can google for more info

where did you get that syntax from? it isn't any normal perl loop. in
fact it is a foreach loop over 3 values (afaict) and nothing close to
what you envisioned it to be.
read perldoc perlsyn for the two ways to write for loops - a c style and
a perl foreach style. yours is a strange conjunction of the two styles
and makes no sense at all.
