I have a file A with content like this:

/filea
/fileb
/filec
/filed

And I have a script xyz.pl to read one file and do something with it

Now I want to provide each of the line in file A as argument to xyz.pl automatically. Effectively following commands are execute (in that order)

xyz.pl /filea
xyz.pl /fileb
xyz.pl /filec
xyz.pl /filed

Is there any quick one-liner-command to do that ?
