use chomp

Code:
foreach my $lines (@lines) {
chomp $lines;
system("mv $lines collisions/.");
}

The whole code can be simplified to

Code:
open FILE , '<' , "collision.txt" || die "$!";
while (<FILE>){
        chomp;
        system("mv $_ collisions/");
}
close FILE;

DESCRIPTION

       Write each FILE to standard output, with line numbers added.  With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

       -b, --body-numbering=STYLE
	      use STYLE for numbering body lines

       -d, --section-delimiter=CC
	      use CC for separating logical pages

       -f, --footer-numbering=STYLE
	      use STYLE for numbering footer lines

       -h, --header-numbering=STYLE
	      use STYLE for numbering header lines

       -i, --page-increment=NUMBER
	      line number increment at each line

       -l, --join-blank-lines=NUMBER
	      group of NUMBER empty lines counted as one

       -n, --number-format=FORMAT
	      insert line numbers according to FORMAT

       -p, --no-renumber

       By default, selects -v1 -i1 -l1 -sTAB -w6 -nrn -hn -bt -fn.  CC are two delimiter characters for separating logical pages, a missing second
       character implies :.  Type \ for .  STYLE is one of:

       a      number all lines

       t      number only nonempty lines

       n      number no lines

       pREGEXP
	      number only lines that contain a match for REGEXP

       FORMAT is one of:
