Re: do-while loop never exits

I see you're running on a PC. the end of line terminator in windoze is '\r\n', but you may have your end of line terminator set to solely '\n', which would cause it to never quit.

--Ray

Also did you type in the first line correctly? Just curious, I don't do the PC perl thing much, but should it have a #!/c: or just a #!c: ?

...line terminator set to solely '\n', which would cause it to never quit. The PerlIO layer `":crlf"` (which is active on Windows by default) translates `\r\n` to `\n`, so the `chomp` with the subsequent `eq` test would work fine...	[reply] [d/l] [select]
