In the tutorial there is an example of code: 
open(FILE, "data.txt");          #opens data.txt in read-mode
while(<FILE>){         #reads line by line from FILE w +hich is the fi
+lehandle for data.txt
   chomp;
   print "Saw $_ in data.txt\n"; #shows you what we have read
}
close FILE;                      #close the file.

I've used this code which is similar: 
open (FILE, "users");
while (<FILE>) {
chomp;
($name, $value) = split(/,/, $_);

Now, that code WORKS, but when I use it in a web-setting, it gives error 500, tho, only if you use the wrong login info... (code is from a login script) if you login correctly, it goes to a page, and seems to work properly... (The actual source is that of an error 500)

That's where I need help, I would like, for cosmetic reasons, to not have error 500's... When I use a veriable other than perls own ($_), it doesn't work properly (tho I may be doing it wrong)... it seems as though it doesn't read some of the file...

If anyone could lend me a hand, I'd be greatful :-)
