in reply to Using in multiple passes

How about something like:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w use strict; my @args = @ARGV; print "-----PASS 1-----\n"; while(<>){ print; } @ARGV = @args; print "-----PASS 2-----\n"; while(<>){ print; }
The second use of <> should just repeat the list of input files.

Update
tye (below) just reminded me of another weakness with this - the files could have changed between passes! Not good... unless you want to check for changes in the passes?
