If the file you want to examine does not fit in memory, you will have to remember two lines at a time.
while (<>) {
print unless ($_ eq "\n") && ($last ne "\n") && ($secondlast ne "\n"
+);
$secondlast = $last;
$last = $_;
}
update: This doesn't quite work. We'll have to deter deciding whether or not we will print the current line until we have examined the next line.
while (<>) {
$last = $this;
$this = $next;
$next = $_;
print $this unless ($last ne "\n") && ($this eq "\n") && ($next ne "
+\n");
}
print $next unless ($next eq "\n") && ($this ne "\n"); #last line is s
+pecial

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).
