Is there some variable that will do for a file what $/ does for a record? What I mean is that in $s=<STDIN> the value of $s depends on the value of $/, but in @arr=<STDIN> I couldn't find a way to force the reading to stop when some character is found. Note that reading STDIN line by line and checking for a character won't do the job, because somewhere in the program I need something like open(F,"do-something|"); while(<F>){...} and later open(G,"do-something-else|") while(<G>){...} So, assuming that the program's standard input is redirected from some file, I would need a way to divide the file into chunks, so that each chunk would be treated as the whole STDIN each time @arr=<STDIN> or open(F,"do-something|") appears in the program. Any suggestion? -- Jorge Almeida
