I really liked that you discussed good style and some defensive
coding, even though that wasn't required by the competition. For
"open or die" -- I personally think it's good style to die with at
least "$!" so there's some feedback as to what happened.
My solution was slightly more direct -- each number can be mapped to a
regex character class. (e.g. 2 is [ABC]) So convert the number to a
regex expression, loop the file until something matches the regex, and
print it out.
use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.010;
my @num2chars=split ':', '::abc:def:ghi:jkl:mno:prs:tuv:wxy';
say "Enter a seven-digit phone number:";
my $regex = join q{}, map { "[$num2chars[$_]]" } split //, <STDIN>, 7;
open my $dict, 'C:\Scripts\wordlist.txt' or die $!;
while ( my $line = uc <$dict> ) { say($line), last if $line =~ /^$regex$/i }

David
