Re: What is function of a filehandle read operation

I'm not sure what your question is, but if you want to know what that does... it reads from STDIN

perl -ne print

# equal to

perl -e 'while (<>){print}'

Oh.. it also checks the files on the command line... (which is probably how you're using it anyhow)

Enjoy!

It reads from `STDIN` only when there are no entries in `@ARGV`. So, you're partially right, but wrong if there are command line arguments. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply]
