First, remove the comma after FILE on the last two lines:

print FILE color("red"), "Stop!\n", color("reset");
print FILE color("green"), "Go!\n", color("reset");

Second, Term::ANSIColor uses ANSI escape sequences to color output. This is only useful in a standard terminal that complies with ECMA-048 and ISO 6429 - don't expect to be able to open the file in an editor and see pretty colors. :) Here is what text.txt should look like when viewed with the vim editor:

^[[31mStop!
^[[0m^[[32mGo!
^[[0m

If you cat the file in a compliant terminal, you will see colors.
