I'm not sure your question makes sense. <> is the input read operator.
You can use other things like getc(), but that just reads character by
character. I don't understand what you mean by "reads each ... as equal to
the first." What does this script do for you:
$first = <STDIN>;
$second = <STDIN>;
$third = <STDIN>;
print "First: $first";
print "Second: $second":
print "Third: $third";
If I feed it "first", "second", and "third", it prints:
First: first
Second: second
Third: third
