Hello flightdm,

You do not need to open the file handle and pass it to the diamond operator for reading. You can do it all in one, ref. I/O Operators. Read also eof for multiple files.

Sample of code with output:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my @data;
while (<>){
    chomp;
    push @data, [split /,/];
}

print Dumper \@data;

__END__

~/PerlMonks$ perl test.pl data.txt 
$VAR1 = [
          [
            '1',
            '5',
            '7',
            '8',
            '9',
            '10',
            '11',
            '3',
            '3',
            '5',
            '5',
            '5',
            '7',
            '2',
            '2'
          ],
          [
            '2',
            '6',
            '7',
            '8',
            '9',
            '15',
            '17',
            '3',
            '4',
            '5',
            '6',
            '5',
            '7',
            '2',
            '3'
          ]
        ];
