What is it that you're trying to do with the file? If you just want to read 
the contents, using 'filehandles' and 'strict', here's one way to do it:

-----------------------snip-----------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

open (FILE, "some_file");
while (<FILE>) {
    print;
}
close FILE;
-----------------------snip-----------------------
