if you put a comma after your filehandle, it could mean something totally
different:
sub STDOUT{
return 'hello world';
}
#-- fine. no comma after STDOUT, STDOUT takes as a file handle
print STDOUT "hi\n";
#-- fine but there is a comma after STDOUT, STDOUT takes as a function call
print STDOUT," by me\n";
now if you don't have a function named OUTFILE but a filehandle OUTFILE and
you put a comma after OUTFILE, Perl tries to tell you that you are probably
don't something wrong.
