Re^4: READ one line at a time

Thank you! Question: there is a comment in the code about slurping the entire file into $data. I attempted to circumvent this concept by deleting: $data = <SLURP>; so, my question is whether or not the pgm is still reading the entire file. In short, the comment is misleading. :-(

Yes, as BrowserUk and Anonymous Monk have said, it is by removing the line:

local $/;
[download]

that you circumvent slurping the entire file and revert to the default of reading line-by-line. You will find this explained in the entry for $/ (which is also called $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR) in perlvar.

Hope that helps,
