# Program to open the password file, read it in,
# print it, and close it again.

$file = '/etc/passwd';        # Name the file
open(INFO, $file);        # Open the file
@lines = <INFO>;        # Read it into an array
close(INFO);            # Close the file
print @lines;            # Print the array

Exercise
Modify the above program so that the entire file is printed with a # symbol at the beginning of each line. You should only have to add one line and modify another. Use the $" variable.

Did you read the intros? :) Legacy Tutorials These are old Perl tutorials that are well written and good references for old versions, but should not be used by newcomers to learn Perl. ... and. .. Please note: This tutorial was written in the early 1990's for version 4 of Perl. Although it is now significantly out of date, it was a popular source of information for many people over many years. It has therefore been left on-line as part of the historical archive of the Internet. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :)}	[reply]
