Here are a couple of ways the Monastery can help you in your Perl quest:

• The Search box at the top left of your screen is great for looking up keywords. Just type eof there, hit enter and see what turns up.
• The Q&A link at the top of every page here will take you to a wonderful selection of common solutions, one of which (under the QandASection: files topic) is titled: How do I find the total number of lines in a file? which should provide you with some good reading.
