Hey, you are looking for a line that doesnt contain a space. ;o)

if(open(FILE1, "/Users/tor/Perl/test")) {
  print ("This is the contents of the file\n");
  while (<FILE>) {
    print $_;
  }
}

This should work. The $_ variable is automatically filled with the last line 
read from the file. 

while (<FILE1>) {  #slurps the file line by line
@file = <FILE1>    #slurps the whole file into that array
