Because you're using a while loop instead of a for loop ;-)

I tested the below code on parrot-1.1.0 and it read all the lines in the
file and tested same code on the latest git update (4th June 2009), it
outputs only the first line.
That's what C<$file.get> does -- it gives you one line per default.
You want C<$file.lines>.
