Re: Skip 2 new lines

A 100% regex-free solution:

use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.012;

while (<DATA>) {
    chomp;
    print "$_ ";
    say unless $_;
}

__DATA__
this is a line
which is part of
a sentence. And this
is the second sentence
in the target paragraph.

This should be the
start of a new
paragraph ....

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
