<perl programming5678> problem encountered

I'm trying to read the contents of the text file(titlefile) using

open (my $fp, "<", $titlefile) or die "Can't open <$titlefile: $!";

It reads all contents except the ones within <chevrons> for e.g. I don't read <perl programming1234> and <perl programming5678>.

I want to read the string within chevrons to able to distinguish between various values. Can anybody please help?

Your code only shows the opening of the file, but not how you actually read from the file and also not how you output the content. Please post the relevant code, preferrably within `<code>...</code>` tags, so that we can try to replicate your situation. If you are outputting data that is to be interpreted as HTML, note that you will need to escape the chevrons. See for example HTML::Entities on how to properly escape `><&` (and some more).
