in thread Perl ignores CarriageReturn during fileparsing. Why?

Normally the input record separator should only be changed in the scope for which you need to change it

# code "borrowed" from node 1952 :-)
{
  local $/ = undef;
  open FILE, "myfile" or die "Couldn't open file: $!";
  $string = <FILE>;
  close FILE;
}
# $/ reverts back to default here...

If you spot any bugs in my solutions, it's because I've deliberately left them in as an exercise for the reader! :-)

The change happened by accident and not intentional - until now I wasn't able to locate the change within my own code. Perhaps it happens somewhere in an external perl module ....	[reply]
