What I don't understand is WHY, since it's in a foreach loop first
The way I read your code, the (second) while loop is inside of the foreach loop. Snipping out the rest, the basic loop structure of your code looks like this:
while ( $offset < length( $pieces ) ) {
# do some stuff
}
# do some more stuff
foreach my $p ( @pieces ) {
# do some more stuff
print "[dothis:] Piece $counted: $p \n";
# do some more stuff
while ($n = read (F, $data, $piece_length) != 0) {
# yet more stuff
print "[dothat] Hash2:" . sha1_hex($data) . "\n\n";
# yet more stuff
}
}
So for each value of $p in the foreach loop, the inner while loop is going to run until it can't read any more data from F. On the first time through the foreach loop, this will read all the data from F that's available. On subsequent times through the foreach loop, all the data from F have already been read.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
