Why won't here1 and here2 showup on the output?

Because your program doesn't compile, it cannot be run, and thus it cannot output anything.

$ perl -e'
   use strict;
   use warnings;
   print "here1\n";
   @files = <*>;
   foreach $file (@files){ print $file . "\n"; }
   print "here2\n";
'
Global symbol "@files" requires explicit package name at -e line 5.
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at -e line 5.

$ perl -e'
   use strict;
   use warnings;
   print "here1\n";
   my @files = <*>;                                  # <-- my
   foreach my $file (@files){ print $file . "\n"; }  # <-- my
   print "here2\n";
