Instead, why not just open and print the file to the web browser? I like something like this:
{
local *INPUT;
open (INPUT, "file.ext") or warn "Cannot open file: $!" && return;
print while (<INPUT>);
close INPUT;
}
Saves on memory that way. If you're not in a subroutine, you'll get an error message with the return statement. You can avoid it this way:
{
local *INPUT;
if (open(INPUT, "file.ext")) {
print while (<INPUT>);
close INPUT;
}
# for diagnostic purposes, uncomment these lines
# else {
# print "Couldn't open file: $!";
# }
}

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).
