in reply to Error message while reading from file

Just modify your loop. 
foreach (<EXP>)
{
    next unless m/\S/;
    ...
}

    Why switch from while to foreach?

    while (<EXP>) {
  next unless /\S/;
  ...
}

    generaly, this is not a good idea as it will read the full file in memory and if the file is too big you can run out of RAM.
