but, since OP has asked for perlish help, here's part of the post, edited for rendering and statement terminators: 
(add shebang to taste)
use strict;
use warnings;

open(FILE,"file.txt");
my @Records = <FILE>; 

@Records = sort {$a cmp $b} @Records;

for my $record(@Records) {
    print "$record \n";
}

Between them, strict and warnings would have sorted out most of your problems, including missing semi-colons.

Tho it "works," the above code is NOT a good piece of work; read perldoc -f open and perldoc -f sort with special attention to testing your open (to make sure it works/find out why it didn't work).

You may find help in threads such as #146936 using the Montastery's "Search" function (top of the page).

Update: Added output statement; rephrased second para after the code for clarity.
