It is supose this code prints the first line of file text.txt (which is not empty), but it doesn't print anything.
$file = "text.txt";
open (file);
<file>;
The above statement does not store the result in $_, this is special only inside a while statement
while (<file>) is equivalent to while (defined ($_ = <file>))
perldoc perlvar
perldoc perlsyn
print; close (file);
I understood that <file>; gets a line (the first in this case) and, in this case, it puts the line in $_ . Also, print; (without args) prints the content of $_ .
Any idea about it?
