<> is an abreviation for < ARGV> and takes a filespec from the command line.
< STDIN> reads from STDIO,
```
open FH, /dev/null or die "Can't open file\n";
while <FH> {
 #your code
}
[download]
```
This code sais: open the file /dev/null and give me a filehandle FH as a reference. Then read from the file referenced by FH and put that into $_. Stop reading at the end of the file.
Reread post and ammended:

That is wrong. You opened input.txt and created a filehandle INPUT. You are reading from input.txt.
