So, if I put a filehandle in the diamond, instead of empty diamond, does that mean that the first would operate line by line and the second would pull the whole file into memory?
No, both while loops read line by line. The difference is where the line gets stored. In longer loops using a named variable is preferable (due to conflicts on $_ usage). It was probably overkill for the loop in the example code, but I used it because I was already writing a verbose program. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
