I created a second file like 
package m.y;
import n.a.m.e;
import i.s;
import a.b.h.i.s.h.e.k;
import s.r.i.v.a.s.t.a.v.a;

[download]

It worked perfectly as well. so to me it looks that nothing wrong with the terminal or loop.

I am on W2k, active state perl 5.8.0

I print the number of lines at the end of the for loop for Sample.java it says number of lines is 1. for sample2.java it says number of lines is 5.

regards,
Abhishek.
