Dear Athanasius, Thank you for your time. When I put in my code your solution it writes this "Argument "SEEK_SET" isn't numeric in seek at testh line 13.". Furthermore, it is using all the words of the list @words as one. Instead of what you said, I put this, but I cannot remove the /n character. In the output, is is always asking for one extra character in the end of each word. 
my @words = qw( internet answers printer program ); 

open my $fh, '>', "words.txt" or die "Cannot open words.txt: $!";


foreach (@words)
{
    print $fh "$_\n"; 
chomp;
}
close $fh;


srand;
open MYFILE, "<words.txt" or die "Could not open words.txt: $!\n";
rand($.)<1 and ($line=$_) while <MYFILE>;
close MYFILE;
