Okay. This should be easy but I am just not getting it.

I have a routine with a menu that calls sub routines.
The subroutine is supposed to take input, do its thing, display, results, take input.

This process is to continue till a control-d is entered.

What i basically have is...

while (1) {
   chomp($picks = <STDIN>);

   if ($picks eq /\cD/ {
       last;
   }

Now the if does not work at all. Is there a way to check for a control-d being entered?

Thank you!
