Ah, you're using DJ's psmerge script, you probably want your command to
be:

./PS_merge.pl $^ > $@

(It writes to the console with the output, which we re-direct to the
desired file, $@)

the program "psmerge" which you can get with "apt-get install psmerge"
takes an option "-oFILENAME" for the output.
