File Looping

Look at the following code, which is an analog of what you have posted.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w 
######################################################################
+##

use strict;

my $file=$0;
my $line=1;

open(FH,"$file") or die $!;

print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n\n";
while (<FH>) {
  printf "%d:%s",$line++,<FH>;
}

--$  ./filetest.pl
Content-type: text/plain


1:####################################################################
+####
--$

To fix this I do the following:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w 
######################################################################
+##

use strict;

my $file=$0;
my $line=1;

open(FH,"$file") or die $!;

print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n\n";
while (<FH>) {
  printf "%d:%s",$line++,$_; #  $_ vs. <FH>
}
[download]

--$  ./filetest.pl
Content-type: text/plain


1:#!/usr/bin/perl -w

4:use strict;
5:
6:my $file=$0;
7:my $line=1;
8:
9:open(FH,"$file") or die $!;
10:
11:print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n\n";
12:while (<FH>) {
13:  printf "%d:%s",$line++,$_;
14:}
--$

Yeah... I know the close(FH) is missing at the end.
