If I have a file on my Windows NT called "bas.txt" with contents of:
wordOne
wordTwo
wordThree

Then I would just want to print this on a web page like this:
wordOne
wordTwo
wordThree


I can make a page that prints out something but how would I get the contents of a file and print it out on a web page? Here is my attempt and the output: 
use strict;
my $path = "/web/webpage.html";

my $myfile = "/perl/bin/bas.txt";

open FIL, "$myfile" || die "cant open: $!\n";
open OUT, ">$path" || die "Can't open $path for writing: $!\n";
print OUT <<"EOF";



<html>
<head>
    <title>Title</title>
</head>

<body>
Okay this prints out.<br>
$myfile



</body>
</html>
EOF

close OUT || die "Can't close filehandle: $!\n";
close FIL || die "no cant close: $!\n";

The output from this:
Okay this prints out.
/perl/bin/bas.txt

I need the output to be the contents of the file not the path name, so I am doing something wrong. The output should be: 
Okay this prints out.
wordOne
wordTwo
wordThree

Please advise what I need to change or do to make this work???
