my $fh_in = FileHandle->new();
$fh_in = *STDIN{IO};

Instead of

while( <STDIN> ) {

You are right. I can't recall exactly why, but in some hacking in the past, I found that the FileHandle method had some benefit if you wanted both keyboard and pipe input. I can't reproduce the problem now, so I stand corrected..... no more muddy water. :-) I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum	[reply]
