1.Using a text editor, create a text file containing five lines like this:

        line one 
        line two 
        line three 
        line four 
        line five

These lines are indented in this document, but in your test file the only spaces in the file should be the single space between the words on each line. Your test program will be processing this file. Print the contents of the file in the report now for reference.

2. Printing the file. Create a simple perl program that will open the file, will assign the first line to a variable using something like $line = <TEST-INPUT>; , and then will print the contents of the variable.
