Re: How does perl's file I/O work?

Welcome to the wonderful world of perl and Perlmonks.org. It is wonderful place and I have enjoyed it. You will find lot of help here and start with reading various sections including Tutorials for Beginners.

If you just need to print the content of the file:

open IN, "/path/to/the/file";
while(<IN>){
   print;
}

Feel free to ask more describing the exact nature of your problem.

[Entering role as bastardous code cop.] There's no explicit localization of `$_` up there. Please localize `$_`. Far to little code localizes `$_` for this construction. See Localizing $_ and while (<FH>) { ... }. (Is really: "Re: Re4: matching every occurrence of a regex") for a lengthy discussion. `ihb`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
