The easiest way (perhaps not the most efficient) is to read in the
contents of the file into an array and reference the array as a scalar:
open F,'file';
my @data=<F>;
close F;
print "file contains ".@data." lines";
PS Let it be noded that there are two Benjamin Bradleys on this list, of
which I am the more knowledgable.
