doesn't $c=getc force the loop to wait for input from STDIN?
from perldoc
getc FILEHANDLE
getc
Returns the next character from the input file attached to FILEHANDLE, or
the undefined value at end of file, or if there was an error. If FILEHANDLE
is omitted, reads from STDIN. This is not particularly efficient.
***However, it cannot be used by itself to fetch single characters without
waiting for the user to hit enter.****
