Er, hold on there... Dont be too hasty.

$/ is the end of record seperator. It defaults to "\n".

What my code, which is in essence

my @list=split /\n/,do {local $/; <$fh>};
[download]

does is to read the whole file into a buffer then split it up by newlines and then return them, which should be more or less the same as

my @list=<$fh>;
[download]

(at least under default conditions) but obviously isn't on AS 5.6.

I hope you didnt do it naively as otherwise youll only have one entry in the array, which will contain the whole file.
