Personally, I'd do:

  print while <FH>;
[download]

or even: print do { local($/), <FH> }; But think, for a moment, about:

  while (sort <FH>) {
    print;
  }
[download]

You're now calling sort() in scalar context. It returns false, so that while() loop doesn't do jack. And I HIGHLY recommend against

  for (<FH>) {
    print;
  }
[download]

Since that builds up a list of all the records in FH. -- japhy on EFnet, japh on DALnet, Jeff on Earth
