in thread What editing mode am I in when interacting with a Perl script using OS X Terminal? Because the keyboard works differently to a normal shell.

You don't seem to have understood the question. I'm not editing a Perl script. I'm running a Perl script which takes input from the command line. Please read the question again.

      He could be friendlier. The question was in fact completely misunderstood.

        Thanks guys... yes, indeed, the question was completely misunderstood. After looking at it again this morning, I realized the OP was dealing with the CLI while the program was waiting for input.

        With the posted code, it appeared to me at the time they were actually trying to edit the file.

        Thankfully, AnonyMonk, roboticus and 1nickt did catch on to what the OP needed, and responded accordingly.

        Cheers,

      I have clicked on their name. I'm really not sure what your point is though. What is it about stevieb you wanted me to notice?

        How helpful he is.

      Dude :) Examine what is said, not who speaks.
