Hi, I'm trying open Text2.txt file and saving contents of each line into an array. I then wish to print each line of the array whilst keeping count of the array length. But this script is not working.? what am I doing wrong.? I am a complete novice, so please could I have simple to understand suggestions. thank you.

#!\usr\bin perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use diagnostics;
use feature 'say';

open(FILE, "Text2.txt") or die;
my @lines;
foreach (my $i = 0; $i < @lines; $i++) {
   say $lines[$i];
}


Error message:
Name "main::FILE" used only once: possible typo at open.pl line 9 (#1)
    (W once) Typographical errors often show up as unique variable nam
+es.
    If you had a good reason for having a unique name, then just menti

    again somehow to suppress the message.  The our declaration is
    provided for this purpose.
    
    NOTE: This warning detects symbols that have been used only once s

    %c, *c, &c, sub c{}, c(), and c (the filehandle or format) are con

    the same; if a program uses $c only once but also uses any of the 
+others it
    will not trigger this warning.
