}Does anyone know if there is any way to make "perl" read from a

How about the standard unix tricks for dealing with that sort of problem:
either reference the file as "./>myfile" or as "/usr/home/me/dir/>myfile"?

}    If the filename begins with <" or nothing, the file
}    is opened for input.  If the filename begins with
}    ">", the file is opened for output.  If the filename
}    begins with ">>", the file is opened for appending.

I would bet that this really means "the filename string", not the
filename-itself (if you were thinking of that string as being 
    "device" . "directorypath" . "filename"
even though the above decomposition is the actual reality for most operating
systems.)
