"input_record_separator is not supported on a per handle basis at" ..file/linenum...?

[tsimon]

Hi all,

Is someone able to explain why I am getting the following error, & how I 
might correct it?
Sorry I'm a bit of a newbie to Perl....

I have recently updated the Perl package I am working with to ActivePerl 
5.8.6 and am now getting this error:

"input_record_separator is not supported on a per handle basis at" 
..file/linenum...?

Relevant lines of code:-

                 $mif_fh->input_record_separator(undef);
                                $mif_header = $mif_fh->getline;
and

                $fh->input_record_separator(undef);
                        $data_stream = $fh->getline;
and

                $fh->input_record_separator(undef);
                                eval($fh->getline);

Any help/ advice would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

Tracey Simon
