The recommended usage of open is:
open my $omarfh, '<', 'junk' or die "Input file 'junk' cannot be opened: $!";
The three argument is preferred as a malicious user could enter a file name that
starts with '>'
The lexically scoped file handler is preferred since it won't interfere with
other file handlers.
