Okay, i'm easing myself back into programming in general; it has been a while.
This little program is supposed to help me recreate a larger program I had written: I want it to read the program file (as a .txt doc) and re-print it in another file, sans the comments that are on each line.
However, nothing is happening and I can't figure out why. Any ideas?
use strict;
use warnings;

my @array; my $i; my @new; my $nfile;
my $file=<>;
open FILE, "<$file";
while(<FILE>){
    push @array, $_;}
close FILE;
for(@array){
    ($i)= grep { m/^#/ } $_;
    push @new, $i;
}
$nfile=<>;
open FILE, ">$nfile";
while(<FILE>){
    for(@new){
        print FILE " \n\n $_ \n\n ";
    }
}

Thanks in advance!
