Bottompost, please.
Your script works on my machine. Is this you whole script, do you use:
use strict;
use warnings;
in your script and is there any content in /tmp/test.txt?

You are making the assumption that 'TEST' sets '$_' which is not
true. Oddly, perl makes '' set $_, but not FILE... dunno why
consider
while( $_ = TEST ) {
}
