Here's something that might work for you, depending on how long the files
are:
open(I,"$ARGV[0]");
my @foo = <I>;
print scalar @foo;
handling it this way will also allow you to do matching on lines fairly
easily if thats something you like.
set $/ to something else if you dont want to discriminate on newlines but on
say, spaces or so.
