If I have a file containing a single string on each line, how would I load all of the strings into an array?

I was mistaken in believing that you can just ...

@array = file

but that only loads the name of the file. Any help would be appreciated.
 
You have to open the file like this:

open(F, $File) or die "Can't open $File: $!\n";
@Array = <F>;
close(F);
 
You would also do well to remember that you'll have &quot;\n&quot; at the end of each string so remeber to chomp!!!
