Uh, you can...
use strict;
open(MYFILE,'test2.txt') or die "Can't open test2.txt: $!\n";
my @buffer=;
close(MYFILE);
for(@buffer) {
chomp;
But, be aware that if the file is of any size, you can run out of memory very fast and
bog the
system down...
Why don't you just want to iterate

Why would you want to? That requires you to store the ENTIRE file in
memory!
