I doubt that in the file where you are reading the file names is having space and in the file names which you have given in example doesn't have space. So you check that.

Also In the below code, first line is not necessary.
change 

    my @lines = <FILE>;
    chomp (@lines = <FILE>);

into 

chomp (@lines = <FILE>);
