in reply to @ARGV / Command Line Arguments

I guess your main problem is that you're not reading the INPUT file mentioned in $ARGV[0]. You're reading from STDIN.

Update: davorg is correct. Anyway, s/he's not reading the file s/he thinks s/he reads.


Everything went worng, just as foreseen.

    Actually he's not reading from STDIN. He's reading from the first file named on the command line.
