I guess you're a newbie huh? That's okay. I'll just help you make this code a little more Perlish... 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#This Program will check to see on how many lines a word
#or word fragment occurs

use strict;                    #well, you're already using -w
print "Welcome to Uselessmaestro 4000\n";    # :^)

my($totline, $occ, $op, $file, $word);

while (1) {
    print "Would you like to (S)earch a file or (Q)uit?\n";
    $op=<STDIN>;

    last if ($op =~/Q/i);

    print "Word: ";
    chomp($word=<STDIN>);

    print "Full path to file: ";
    chomp($file=<STDIN>);

    open FILE, "<$file" or die "Unable to open $file: $!";

    undef($totline, $occ);

    while(<FILE>) {  #a little more efficient--doesn't slurp in the wh
+ole file at once, plus puts it in $_ so it's easy to search
        $totline++;
        $occ++ if (/$word/i);
    }

    print "Of $totline lines the word '$word' occured on $occ of them.
+\n";
}

Note that some of my changes were to fit my own style--if you don't like something, you can probably change it back. Feel free to ask if I changed something so you don't understand it--that's what I'm here for, after all. :^)
