in reply to Close a file and reopen a new one at midnight

You have to use a global variable of an open file:

my $file;
open $file, ">$filename" || die("Couldn't open file");
...

In addition, are you assured that at this time there is data on the socket for reading?

That, however stylish it may be, using lexical file handles will not resolve the root cause of the problem. The file handle is being closed and reopened in a logically correct location.

Update: Updated statement to clarify.
