What is the difference between:

a.                                      while(defined(my $line = <>)) ...
and
b.                                      while(<>)

snip

while (<>) {}

is shorthand for

while (defined ($_ = <>)) {}

The biggest difference is the use of a named variable $line instead of
the default variable $_.
