Can this 4'' PVC perforated sewer pipe be used for a french drain?

I would like to use PVC pipe instead of corrugated pipe.I went to HomeDepot (Canada) to see what is available and the below is my only choice. I don't think this will work as is since the lateral holes marked with blue are too high and the bottom ones are very few (2 in total for 120in!!)

By my opinion if the water does not reach around 1in depth at the bottom of the french drain this will never work since the bottom side has just 2 holes.

I am thinking about buying this and putting more holes there. Is that a good idea ?
