Oh that makes sense now - forgot about the glob operator.

    $filename = <$FN[$k]>; is still bad, though. Using glob without looping over its results makes no sense. 
    use strict;
use warnings;
my @FN = qw( a b );
for my $k (0..$#FN) {
   my $filename = <$FN[$k]>;
   print("$filename\n");
}

    If @FN contains glob patterns, then he wants 

    for (@FN) {
   while (defined(my $filename = glob($_))) {
      ...
   }
}

    If @FN contains file names (as it seems to), then he wants 

    for my $filename (@FN) {
   ...
}

    Although it looks like @FN isn't needed at all. 

    for (0..18, 20..28, 30..38) {
   my $filename = sprintf('out-02-%02d.txt', $_);
   ...
}
