should probably be "$. == 100" but this is a bit better:
last if($. > 100);
because you don't care anything after 100 lines, why not simply get out of
the loop instead of wasting time doing 'next' and compare?
aslo, if your file is small, you can also:
my @array = (<FH>)[0..100];
but that's kind of bad :-)
