You said:
Any reason you wouldn't use:Yes. Try that with <ARGV> (aka <>) when there's only 15 lines in the files specified on the command line. After it hits EOF, it now starts reading unexpectedly from STDIN for the remaining 5 lines (after 1 undef for the eof), because the process starts over! Moral: Always watch for an early EOF from a filehandle. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker
