Yes you could use foreach, especially if you don't mind reading the
entire file into memory.

@lines = <FILE>;
foreach $var (@lines) {
  #foobar;
}

And you might be able to do

foreach $var (<FILE>) {
  #foobar;
}

but remember... TMTOWTDI.

PS. for those who don't know TMTOWTDI... check the footnotes of page
13 of your camel book.
