One way is to do this...
while ( my $line = <FILE> ) {
next if ( /^\s*$/ );
}

Subject: find blank line
When parsing a text file - what is the best way to skip a "blank" line -
when I find the length I get a length of 1 (perhaps the newline). I know
that I could chomp($_) and then if(length($_) != 0) {do something} else
{next} but I feel that there should be a way to have an if($_ = $blank)
statement.
Any thoughts . . .
