Re: read file from ARGV

Try the following (assuming each word is on a separate line):

use strict;
use warnings;

chomp( my @strings = <> );

print "$_\n" for @strings;

Usage: perl script.pl word.txt

Update: In case your words are separated by spaces like "foo bar fish cat one two three," even if there are multiple lines, try the following:

use strict;
use warnings;

my @strings;

while (<>) {
    push @strings, split ' ';
}

print "$_\n" for @strings;
