Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm writing a small open-source file test tool (of course in Perl). It's a single .pl file and I'd love to get some feedback from the Perl experts around here. The SourceForge project is here:

http:/sourceforge.net/projects/filereadtest/

Many thanks in advance,
Ruben

    Having both  #!/usr/bin/perl -w and use warnings; is not good, read perllexwarn to learn why.

    It looks like it was translated directly from BASIC, or maybe COBOL?
