in reply to Going to a specific line in a file.

You can use the Tie::File module

use strict;
use warnings;
use Tie::File;

my $file = shift @ARGV;

tie my @arr, 'Tie::File', $file;
#Update: (thanks Corion and JohnGG)
#print $arr[15]."\n";
print $arr[14]."\n";

    print $arr[15]."\n";

    <nit>That is the 16th line.</nit>

    Also, why not just interpolate into the string rather than using concatenation?

    print qq{$arr[14]\n};
