autodie both adds the file name to the error message and saves you from having to do the or die ...; dance: 
# open.pl
use strict;
use warnings;
use autodie;

open HIGHLANDER, ">>/root/renew.cgi.highlander";

[download]
when run (as non a root user), gives: 
+% perl open.pl
Can't open '>>/root/renew.cgi.highlander' for appending: 'Permission d
+enied' at open.pl line 6
+%
