You're using quotes where you don't need to, and as indicated above, the single-quotes in the open statement are not only unnecessary, but cause the "file not found" error. Try it like this:
die "$file not found\n" unless ( -e $file );
open( FH0, $file ) or die "Unable to open $file: $!\n";
...
In that version, I took advantage of the fact that "open" assumes "for reading" as a default; if the file name returns "true" with '-e', then it exists. But there might still be issues with being able to read it. If '-r' returns true for the file, then it's virtually certain that "open" for reading will succeed.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
