<> is two different operators. Based on its operand, it's an alias for readline or it's an alias for glob. Here are two ways of forcing readline:
while (my $line = readline($FH[$i])) {
...
}
my $fh = $FH[$i];
while (my $line = <$fh>) {
...
}
There's still the question of why you are using global variables for no reason.
open(FILE_A,">","a.txt") || ...;
open(FILE_B,">","b.txt") || ...;
my @FH=(*FILE_A,*FILE_B);
should be
open(my $FILE_A,">","a.txt") || ...;
open(my $FILE_B,">","b.txt") || ...;
my @FH=($FILE_A,$FILE_B);
You're using 3-arg open which was introduced at the same time as lexical file handles, so it's not a backwards compatibility issue.

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).
