in reply to Idle search for a file-read idiom

Am I missing something? I'd suggest: 
while (<>) {
   frobnicate($_);
}

Run it with "$0 foobar.txt"

    You're assuming that @ARGV contains only the file name. This solution is what tlm suggests to use as an alternative to his quick hack, but he has to set @ARGV first.

    Flavio (perl -e 'print(scalar(reverse("\nti.xittelop\@oivalf")))')

    Don't fool yourself.
