Hi all,I am using the diamond operator to redirect input to my perl script. I want to copy all of the input on to a single variable using the following subroutine: sub getfile # Copies the file redirected to this perl script to the varialbe $x { my $x; local $/ = undef; $x = <>; return $x; }The problem is that when I try to print what the above subroutine returns, the program kindof hangs. That is, it doesn't just print the output and then send me back to the command line, instead I have to press Ctrl-c to break out of it, like it is expecting input from the keyboard.
If you're reading from STDIN, you have to send an end-of-file marker. In Windows, press control-Z on an empty line. In *NIX, control-D. -- Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, Shawn "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them."
