^Z With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. RIP Neil Armstrong	[reply]

Ctrl+Z (or F6) is used in Windows command prompt as EOF. You can also write `__END__` to stop Perl reading STDIN and compile the program. Sorry if my advice was wrong.	[reply] [d/l]
