Re^3: can I make my regexp match first pattern instead of last?

Use the string as a file:

my $fileContents;

open my $scan, '<', \$fileContents;

while (defined (my $block = <$scan>)) {
    ...
}

close $scan;

Using the string as a filehandle works fine. But now I get a runtime error that says "Can't use string ("") as a symbol ref while "strict refs" in use" on this line of code: `open $ResultsHandle, '<', \$return;` So how can I use strict, which is required by Perl Best Practices, and process a multi line string one line at a time? Thanks, Kurt	[reply] [d/l]
