First of all, 100 lines is a small file, not a big one ;-)
If you just need to copy the file and do something to every line, this might be something similar to what you want (untested, written from memory):
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
open(my $ifh, '<', 'infile.txt') or die($!);
open(my $ofh, '>', 'outfile.txt') or die($!);
while((my $line = <$ifh>)) {
chomp $line;
# do something to $line
print $ofh $line, "\n";
}
close($ifh);
close($ofh);
If you really just want to copy a file, you can use File::Copy:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Copy;
copy('infile.txt', 'outfile.txt') or die("Ooops, i messed up: $!");
"I know what i'm doing! Look, what could possibly go wrong? All i have to pull this lever like so, and then press this button here like ArghhhhhaaAaAAAaaagraaaAAaa!!!"
