So if I put in while (<$fh>) it breaks my my $guess = <> further down in my code. I made that my $guess = <STDIN> and it works fine.
both while(<>){..} and $guess = <> reads from STDIN. Atleast, that is obvious from your code. So, to make while(<fh>){.. work, you have to do this:
my ($words_file) = @ARGV;
open( my $fh, "<", $words_file ) or die "can't open file: $!";
my @words;
while (<$fh>) {
...
}
## later you use
chomp(my $guess = <STDIN>);
...
Please, pay attention to the DIRECTION of the "arrow"
- ">" is 'Writing to' ( OUTPUT )
-
- "<" is 'Read from' ( INPUT )
NOTE: Like I mentioned previously, you didn't close the your filehandle!!!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
