You feed your Perl script to the "perl" interpreter in order to run it.

Code:

perl myfile.pl

#!<path_to_perl_on_your_system>

myfile.pl

or

./myfile.pl

open (IN, "myfile.txt") or die "Can't open myfile.txt: $!";
while (<IN>) {
  # do whatever you want to do with the current record
  # the "while" loop iterates through one record at a time
}
# good practice to clean up after you're done
close (IN) or die "Can't close myfile.txt: $!";
