You _should_ be use'ing warnings and strict when developing your code.

It is more efficient to undef the input record separator and slurp the
file into a scalar.

All of your substitutions use the /s option which determines wheather
the dot (.) matches a newline or not. Since none of the regular
expressions uses a dot, the /s option is not needed. All of your
substitutions use the /i option which affects how alphabetic characters
are matched but most of your regular expressions do not contain
alphabetic characters.

You should _always_ verify that the file was opened correctly.

It looks like you want to modify the file "in-place" and perl provides a
method to do this.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
$/ = undef;
$^I = '.bak';
while ( <> ) {
print "$ARGV\n";
s/\nfile://gi;
tr/'?????\177/,\177/;
tr/crabc//d;
tr/_ý^%<'"o/_+^%<'"ú/;
s/-/--/g;
s/-/----/g;
tr/~>/~>/;
}
