Is there anyway to add the End of file marker to the variable before I print it, so I don't have to do ctrl-d?
The control-D is part of the shell, not Perl. You didn't say so but from your message I assume that this did the trick. In other words, you are not redirecting the file as you think you are; your program is still trying to read STDIN. -- 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."
