Without seeing the script or knowing more about your goal it'd be hard
to guess, beyond the guess that you have a loop in there.

You might get good results from a post to the Perl Beginners' mailing list:

https://learn.perl.org/faq/beginners.html

Or post to Perl Monks:

https://perlmonks.org/

Either way, be sure to include a short, self-contained, correct example
script with your query:

Also, it is unclear why you appear to be using a constant to hold a file
name. Instead, you might be interested in trying CPAN's File::Temp
module to manage temporary files and/or directories.
