Hi,

Just thought I should share this with the FWP crowd.

I had to do something special with the first line of a file, before
running the whole while(<>) loop on it. I ended up with this:

    @[EMAIL PROTECTED] =<>=~ $re;

Rafael helped me give this new operator a name (#perlfr transcript):

    15:13 <@BooK> OMG c'est quoi =<>=~ comme secret op ?
    15:14 <@rgs> le x-wing touché avec une aile en feu

Rough translation:

    15:13 <@BooK> OMG what is =<>=~ for a secret op ?
    15:14 <@rgs> the hit x-wing starfighter with a wing on fire

Cog, are you still writing this OGSOP book? ;-)

Actually, it's:

 @[EMAIL PROTECTED] = ( <> =~ $re );
