Try this: 

use strict;
use warnings;
print "Enter five numbers (hit ctrl-d to terminate final input):\n";
my @array;
while( <> ){
    last if $. > 4;
    chomp;
    push @array, $_;
}
print "$_\n" foreach @array;

This uses special variable $. to automatically count the input line for you. This eliminates the need for "$i <= 4". You could replace "last if $. > 4;" with "last if $i++ > 4;" to similar effect.
