RE: Control Flow Puzzle

Would a test for eof() be helpful here:

while (<INFO>) {
  last if /^\* Menu:/;
  return %header if /^\037/ or eof(INFO);
}

$_="goto+F.print+chop;\n=yhpaj";F1:eval

Yes, that does look good. Thanks! In the article I complained bitterly about `eof()` and strongly advised staying away from it. But it looks like this is one of the few times when `eof()` is the Right Thing. I guess I was just being too doctrinaire. Well, that'll give me something interesting to say in the followup article.
