Easy, easy, easy ...

open INFILE, "<nameoffile.txt";
while (<INFILE>) {print;}
close INFILE;

This creates the handle INFILE for the named file in your current
directory and cycles through it line by line, printing each line. To
write the file to an out handle, do this:

open INFILE, "<nameoffile.txt";
open OUTFILE, ">nameofnewfile.txt";
while (<INFILE>) { print OUTFILE;}
close OUTFILE;
close INFILE;
