Maybe your .txt files are actually soft links? Maybe you're not correctly specifying the path when testing with -f? Or maybe your problem is on line 42, which specifies the flying pink unicorns?
Seriously, read through your question again, how are we supposed to know what you're doing wrong if you're not showing it? We can't help you with code we don't see. Show us the code in question (only the code for this specific question, no need to post your entire script), and possibly show the output of ls -al of the directory you're examining, and you'll get a more helpful answer.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
