Hi hchana,

One possible solution relatively close to yours:

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

open my $FILE, "<", "Text2.txt" or die;       # Three-argument syntax 
+for open
my @lines = <$FILE>;            # actually reading the file into the a
+rray
foreach my $line (@lines) {     # iterating directly over the @lines a
+rray items
   say $line;                   # note that your lines already have an
+ end of line, you would probably prefer to use print rather than say
}
close $FILE;

But if all you want to do is to print the lines, then you don't need to store the file in an array: you can read the lines one by one and print them.

#!\usr\bin perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use diagnostics;

open my $FILE, "<", "Text2.txt" or die; 
while (my $line = <$FILE>) {
    print $line;
}
close $FILE;
[download]

The while loop could be boiled down to one line with a statement modifier:

open my $FILE, "<", "Text2.txt" or die; 
print while <$FILE>;
[download]

In fact it can be even simpler, using the fact that print provides a list context to the <...> operator:

open my $FILE, "<", "Text2.txt" or die; 
print <$FILE>;
