Re^2: Cannot work on second file after reading first file.

Thank you for the long answer McA! I will look into File::Slurp as well. I hope to continue learning and avoid these silly errors. I was aware that global variables were a bad idea, I just didn't realize I was changing $/ globally. I have very little programming experience in general, and about 1 week experience with Perl :P

Thanks again!

Hi 1straw, you're welcome! IMHO it's outstanding how you come back to your thread and react on the comments and advices given. That happens not too often. And I'm pretty sure this is the reason why you got help from all directions. I wish you much fun with programming in Perl. Best regards McA	[reply]
