Hello Monks

I am not getting why i am getting an empty array when using if else condition.

i have a simple script as below.

#!/usr/bin/perl


my $SP4binconfig = "/etc/SPECdaemons.list";
open (my $fh, '<', $SP4binconfig) or die "cant open the file : $!";
        my @SPECores = <$fh>;
        close $fh;

print "@SPECores";

this script print the array correctly. but when i use the same codes with If Else condition it does not and i cant figure out what is wrong with this 

#!/usr/bin/perl


my $SP4binconfig = "/etc/SPECdaemons.list";
if (-e $SP4binconfig)
{
open (my $fh, '<', $SP4binconfig) or die "cant open the file : $!";
        my @SPECores = <$fh>;
        close $fh;
}
else
{
print "mmmmm";
}

print "@SPECores";
