It doesn't evaluate as true -- your else clause line is going into the
bit bucket.  There is so much wrong with your code that point by point
analysis would take too much space.  There's much more wrong than
Matthias pointed out...

Look up in your book the difference between $array[0] and @array[0].
If it doesn't explain it, get a different book.  Also look up why after

    @array = <FILE>;
it doesn't make sense to use
    $line = <FILE>;

Just some hints....
