Re: Creating Arrays on the Fly(boo)

Try using

while ($response=<$remote>){
    #manipulate response here
}
[download]

or if you want it in array form for later processing, something similar to :

while ($foo=<DATA>){chomp $foo;push @ary, $foo};

print "@ary";

__DATA__
foo
bar
baz
quud
quux

Question : why doesn't 1 while {push @ary,<DATA>} do what's expected?That is, take a line from <DATA> and push it onto @ary. I seem to get stuck in a infinite loop... What behavior of <DATA> am I missing?

Try this: `perl -le 'print push @foo, undef'` It will return 1, the number of elements successfully pushed onto the array. And undef is what you get when you try to read from an exhausted file handle, hence, your push is always true, at least until you run out of swap space... -- `g r i n d e r`	[reply] [d/l]
