The following code for basic. It will work for only one file. If you need to implement for all files.

Code:
use strict;
use warnings;

open FH,"<file" or die "Can't Open $!";
my @array;
while(<FH>)
{
    push(@array,$_);
}
my $var=$#array+1;
close FH;
open FH,">file" or die "Can't Open $!";
print FH "$var\n";
print FH "@array";
