Hello Monks,

I am looking for a more efficient way of writing from a file handle. What I am doing is opening a dat file and printing it to a webpage. This is how I've been doing it so far. 
open (AP_MENU, "/web/aps/ap_menu.dat") or die "Cannot open: $!";
@fileinput_ap = <AP_MENU>;
for ($i = 0; $i <= $#fileinput_ap; $i++)  { print "$fileinput_ap[$i]" 
+}
close (AP_MENU) or die "Cannot close: $!";

Is there a more efficient way than reading everything into an array?

and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
