Ok, what you've done there is to open the file and associate it with a filehandle. The filehandle is in $info which is why you're getting the value that you don't understand. To get the data from your file, you need to read from the filehandle using the file input operator.

while (<$info>) { # puts one line of file into $_
  print "$_";
}

or, to get all of the data into an array

@file = <$info>;

You might find it useful to read "perldoc perlopentut".

When you say open $info, $file $info gets to hold the filehandle, not the content of the file. When you print it, its value becomes stringified.

What you want is to read from the file, and read that. To avoid reading the whole file to memory at once, let's do it line by line using the <> operator:

while (<$info>) {   # $_ holds a line
    print;          # print w/o arguments prints $_
}

chomp ( my @output = <$info> );
print "$_\n" for @output;
[download]

This does what you intended, I think. Consider using taint because of the way you are interacting with the file system directly without untainting your inputs.

  print "whats the File name ? ";
  chomp (my $tmp = <STDIN>);
  my $file = "/home/wanderi/$tmp";        
  open (my $info, '<', $file) or die "cant open $file";
  print while <$info>;
