Re^2: Search, Match, Compare, and Report

Looks interesting, what local *_; actually does in this code?

BTW, There are few missing brackets & $keys{$id}++ meant to be $ids{$id}++ in your code right below the for loop.

`while (<...>)` [download] is short for `while (defined($_ = <...>))` [download] `local *_;` prevents the clobbering of the parent's `$_`. `my $_;` would also do the trick in Perl 5.10+	[reply] [d/l] [select]
