 |  #!/usr/bin/perl -w
 |  
 |  $prefix_file = ` date '+%x' ` ;
 |  $log = ".log" ;
 |  
 |  print " the date is $prefix_file" ;
 |  
 |  $probe_logfile = $prefix_file . $log ;
 |  
 |  $probefile = "<probe.log" ;
 |  $OUTFILE = ">>$probe_logfile";
 |  my ($line_number) = 0;
 |  my ($yes) = 1;
 |  my ($no) = 0;
 |  open(probefile) or die("ERROR: $! \n");
 |  open(OUTFILE) or die ("ERRROR :$! \n");

    You're not using open() correctly. You need to have something along
    the lines of: 

    open(PROBE, $profile); 
    open(OUT, $OUTFILE); 

    while( <PROBE> ) { 

    }

    You might want to re-read perldoc -f open.
