Thankfully, when you open a file for apending (using '>> somefile'),
it will create the file if it doesn't exist! No special code needed.
Run the following command a few times and cat the 'newfilehere' file
to see the results.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
$|++;
open FILE, ">> newfilehere" or die $!;
print FILE "Writing around " . localtime() . "\n";
close FILE;
: pseudocode -- ewww!
: if the file exists{
: write to it
: }

: if the file does not exist{
: create it
: write to it

: close the file
