The code has started to work finally.. but the problem is it is giving the output in one column and splitting all the values.

so for the line :

0.250 0.413 0.432 0.345 0.786 1.001 0.987

the output is : 

125
206.5
216
172.5
393

and so on

how should i put it back together? This is the code i used : 

use warnings;
print " Enter the dilution factor. \n";
chomp ($df = <STDIN>);
open FILE, "96well.txt" or die $!;
while (<FILE>){
 chomp $_;
  @values = split('\t', $_);

foreach $val (@values){
$DNA_conc = $val * $df * 50 ;
print $DNA_conc;
print"\n";
}
}
 close (FILE);
