Don't worry about false lines. That is only possible when he mucks with $/ or the input line is broken with ^D which is possibly entered to leave the while.

^D should yield an eof, which should result in readline returning undef, not "", so the defined() wouldn't make a difference. A false line happens without mucking with $/ when you have a 0 at the end of a file, not followed by a newline.	[reply]
