Bareword filehandles (such as MYFILE) are not recommended.
Always test for exceptions.
The 3-argument form of open, which explicitly specifies the mode of opening the file, is recommended.
Never ever read from a filehandle (or filehandle reference) in list context. It loads the full file in memory, which might blow up your program in case of large files.
The default operand for chomp is $_.
