Re^2: File read and strip

The line breaks are intentional to make the final file more readable when I format it.
What does using the {parameter?} "my $line" before the (@array) do?
And, let's see if I have any idea what's going on, the second line skips a line if it starts with a #?

Thanks!

The line: `foreach my $line (@array) {` [download] assigns the value from the next item in @array to the variable $line. I find this makes it eaiser to see what you are doing, rather than using $_, which I find non-intuitive. Yes, you are correct, that next line of code skips anything that starts with a #, so that only lines from your file that are not comments are inserted into the array that you are intending to send to the output file.
