Assuming that the file is also broken w/ newlines (which may very well not be the case) (ie, similar to a CSV), wouldn't just setting `$/` mean that at every newline, one of the array elements would contain two fields (specifically, the last one of one line combined w/ the first one of the new line)? Blah, I'm probably just making invalid assumptions and should go back to work. :-p bbfu	[reply] [d/l]
