Dear Monks,
I'm currently writing a script that streamlines the addition of print queues on multiple *nix environments. I have options setup with Getopt::Long to store and sort my <> vars. I am now trying to figure out just how I'm going to read and handle information for one of my options.
The option is theorized to parse print queue names stored on single lines in a $file. Once the -f option is called I want Perl to find the given text document and start reading. I want it to read and sort each print queue within the file and store each as an individual scalar (preferably in an array) so each queue name can be processed and added accordingly.
sub infile {
open $file "< $file" or die "Cannot open \"$file\"\n$!";
while (! eof($file)) {
print "Find out how to read the input file and store e
+ach object on a line in an array\n";
}
}
