What is up w/ below code?
Why can't this simple script just spit out what it sees in data?

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

#my @yahoo = map { split(/\n/, $_) } <DATA>;


my @yahoo = <DATA>;

while (@yahoo) {
   chomp;
   print $_;
}

__END__
hi nus mine
hi no mine
###
hi on mine
## hi nus mine
hi hi hi
hi
hi
hi

running this I get

Putting dumper gets me,

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

#my @yahoo = map { split(/\n/, $_) } <DATA>;


my @yahoo = <DATA>;
#print "@yahoo\n";

print Dumper(@yahoo);

In reply to why can't I just cat the file??? by convenientstore

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
