<> Hello, i have a code below which intends to populate an array using File Handle, and File handle contains the linux passwd file info separated by ":". I am able to succeed till this point. Now, i further need to split each passwd line and extract UID and GID for each user. i am able to achieve this only for the first line of passwd file, and not for rest others. Below is the code and the passwd file i am using, please guide, where am i wrong. 

$HAN = "handle";
$FILE = "passwd.txt";
open("$HAN", "$FILE")||die "Error opening file: $!\n";
while(<$HAN>) {
@arr = <$HAN>;
}

foreach(@arr) {
    
    @IDINFO = split(/:/,"$arr[$_]");
    print "UID is: @IDINFO[2] \n";
    print "GID is: @IDINFO[3] \n";
}
