We're both idiots, toolic ;-) (no offense meant).

'\n' would only be the case if the user entered a literal backslash followed by an n. Not very likely to be intended. Since $ending is already chomped there's no need for a newline check at all.

if ($ending eq 'done') is just fine, I think.

When taking out the \n the while loop keeps well...looping until 'done' is entered. Keeping it in ends the loop with a carriage return or the input.	[reply]
