perl：确定字符串数组大小的方法似乎不起作用

我有一个字符串数组,我从文本文件加载：

my @fileContents;
my $fileDb = 'junk.txt';
open(my $fmdb,'<',$fileDb);
push @fileContents,[ <$fmdb> ];

该文件已知长1205行,但我无法检索数组的大小,即加载到数组中的行数.

我在这里和其他地方尝试了三种不同的方法,关于如何确定字符串数组中的元素数量,并且似乎无法使它们中的任何一个起作用.

以下是我的代码,评论包括我在研究中发现的三种不同方式,以查找数组中的元素数量.

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# Load the contents of a text file into an array,one line per array element.

# Standard header stuff.
# Require perl 5.10.1 or later,and check for some typos and program errors.
#
use v5.10.1;
use warnings;
use strict;

# Declare an array of strings to hold the contents of the files.
#
my @fileContents;

# Declare and open the file.
#
my $fileDb = 'junk.txt';  # a 1205-line text file

open(my $fmdb,$fileDb) or die "cannot open input file $!";

# Get the size of the array before loading it from the file.
# That size should be zero and is correctly reported as such.
#
my $sizeBeforeLoading = @fileContents;
say "size of fileContents before loading is $sizeBeforeLoading.";

# Load the file into the array then close the file.
#
push @fileContents,[ <$fmdb> ];

close( $fmdb );

# Now the array size should be 1205 but I can't get it to report that.
# Tried it three different ways.

my $sizeAfterLoading = @fileContents;
say "size of fileContents after loading is $sizeAfterLoading.";
#
# That didn't work; it reports a size of 1 when the real size is known to be 1205.
#
# Tried this:

$sizeAfterLoading = scalar @fileContents;
say "size of fileContents after loading is $sizeAfterLoading.";
#
# This one reported a size of 1.

$sizeAfterLoading = $#fileContents + 1;
say "size of fileContents after loading is $sizeAfterLoading.";
#
# This one reported an index of 0 for a size of 1.

# The real size is known to be 1205 so hard-code one less than that here
#
$sizeAfterLoading = 1204;

say "The file contents are:";

foreach my $i( 0..$sizeAfterLoading )
{
  print $fileContents[ 0 ][ $i ];
}
#
# The contents of the fileContents array prints out correctly (all 1205 lines of text).

打印出数组的内容并将其与输入文件匹配,验证数组是否正确加载(甚至将输出重定向到文件并使用diff与输入文件进行比较并匹配),但我仍然无法获取数组大小(文本行数).

我的猜测是,必须访问$fileContents作为二维数组与它有关.我最初期望能够说“print $fileContents [$i];”但那没用;我需要在[$i]之前插入[0].我真的不明白为什么会这样.

有人可以帮助我理解为什么数组大小不起作用,以及如何在这种情况下以正确的方式做到这一点？
