I have a txt file of 2106 numbers like so:

0.004
0.003
0.004
0.006
0.006
0.008
0.006
0.006
0.006
0.005
0.006
0.007
0.007

It's nothing fancy, just a list of numbers. I run this exact perl code on it:

open(INPUT2, "$ARGV[0]" . "_RMS") or die $!;
open(DEBUG2,">debug2") or die $!;
  while(defined ($line = <INPUT2>)){
    print DEBUG2 $line;
  }
close(INPUT2);
close(DEBUG2);

and the copied file is only 2048 numbers long. I've opened both files with vim and :set list. I see nothing wrong in the data file. I just seemed to stop 58 numbers short of the end of the file. I had our system admin look at it and he can't figure it out. I am in complete dismay.
