This works fine for me. `#! perl # use strict; use warnings; while(<DATA>){ print if /Norma/; } __DATA__ Steve Blenheim Betty Boop Igor Chevsky Norma Cord` [download] Result `perl "D:\perl_TK\DBperl\perl6data.pl" Process started >>> Norma Cord <<< Process finished.` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
