Open the file, read the text to an array, close the file. How much
shorter would you like it?
open FILES, "< file-list" or die "can't read file-list: $!";
chomp(my @files = <FILES>);
close FILES;
You might even be able to use
while (<FILES>) {
chomp;
# use $_ here
}
if you don't NEED the files in an array, but can work with them one at a
time.
