This print statement is treating $File as a file handle.  It is similar to:

  print STDERR "\n";

To get it to print the contents of $File, use a comma:

  print $File, "\n";

See: perldoc -f print  http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/print.html

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.

I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
