I think Scrutinizer's method is a very simple and elegant way of doing what you want to do.
I fail to understand why you would want to open each file and read it line by line just to remove blank lines.
You have a loaded Uzi and you want to club someone to death with it ?

Hi Tyler, the files in the /var/tmp folder are generated from another process which has been known (annoyingly) to produce output files with blank lines ..the reason i have to go through each file line by line is because i need to identify exactly which line number in which file is returning blank and send it to a log file. you are right, there is no need for me to actually fix these issues within this actual script but i thought it make sense to do so if possible
I read on another site that I can set my file location within my script to say $file and then run this
but that doesnt seem to work, whereas if i run the equivalent one liner from the command line (see below) it works perfectly .
is there a way to convert that one liner into something I can run within a perl script ?

I have an issue at work, which requires a simple solution. But, after multiple attempts, I have not been able to hit on the code needed.
I am assuming that sed, awk or even perl could do what I need.
