It would be easier if you told me where Perl reports a syntax error.

The following is not really valid Perl:

return <$self->handler>;

See readline resp. I/O-Operators about how to use a more complex expression as a filehandle. You could also just simplify your code to the following construct:

sub readLine { my $self = shift;
    my $fh= $self->handler;
    return <$fh>;
}

I'm not sure whether your open $self->handler actually doess the right thing, but then, I don't know how Moose proposes you store filehandles and what the 'FileHandle' type is supposed to do. I presume that $self->handler does not return a reference to the actual filehandle, so your open might just be useless because you never store the actual opened filehandle back into the object.
