Also, a point of minor nitpicky convention.
The specification of >> as in ">>file" will open a file for appending.
i.e. writing (output).
The choice of filehandle name, IN, appears to contradict this.
Perl doesn't care, but names are there to make things easier for the reader.
Always remember - consider that your maintenance program is a psychotic
