I have a program with a line like

while (<FILE>) {

     }

When I run the program, and I replace "stuff" with only one character,
like "d", it works exactly as I expect. But if instead of using "d", I
use "da" or "date" (which I know are in FILE, because it's a text file
I made) nothing prints on the screen. I've also tried to have it print
to another file, and that's turned out blank too.

What am I doing wrong?

You are making a weird claim, without presenting any Perl code that supports the claim.

Please post a short but _complete_ program, that illustrates the issue you are experiencing. Make use of the __DATA__ token, so people can just copy and run your program.
