Re: socket help

Sorry! Posted in curiosity. But, now I've found. It is because of

print <$fh>;
[download]

Need to do like this.

$var = <fh>;
print $var;
[download]

When we do something like 'print <fh>' it reads till EOF and prints entire content. Since, I've tried in sockets, I wouldn't have received EOF. So, the above code didn't work as expected.

FWIW, this could also be achieved by saying `print scalar <$fh>;` [download] (the `<>` operator (aka `readline`) behaves differently depending on context — which by default is "list" with `print`)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I'm glad you figured it out. For reference in the future, it helps a lot if you can specify what your expected results are, and what your actual results are, to help diagnose the problem. Good job on fixing it though!	[reply]
