when you are executing the 'system $grepexpr', the shell will create(because
of you are redirecting) the $OUT_TEMP file for you. there is no need to
open it again with your open (OUTF,'>$OUT_TEMP') statement. remove the
open() and the close() statement and try again.
also, the way you create your temp file is not reliable. there are better
ways to do what you need. you might want to goto cpan and search for a
module(i can never remember it's name!) that suits your need.
