Hello All,

I wrote this simple perl program to read java source code files. But to my surprise the program is behaving very stangely. 

open FILE, "Sample.java";
my @lines = <FILE>;
close FILE;
foreach my $str (@lines){print $str};

[download]

the source fille which I am reading is 

package com.test.pack.app.visual.command;
import java.math.BigDecimal;
import java.text.ParseException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import com.test.util.validation.MoneyValidator;
import com.test.util.validation.StringValidator;
import com.test.util.typeconverter.ExternalTextConverter;

[download]

The output of my program is
"import com.test.util.typeconverter.ExternalTextConverter;"

Where did all the other lines go?? why didn't the program print all the lines?

regards,
Abhishek.

PS: Is it just me?? every time I write a program it behaves is a most funny way in the begining!!
