reads everything as one line

[Eric L. Brine]

A few days ago, someone mentioned doing
    $scalar = <STDIN>
read the whole POSTed data.

I stumbled upon the following in Apache.pm:
    #shouldn't use <STDIN> anyhow, but we'll be nice
    sub READLINE { 
        my $r = shift;
        my $line; 
        $r->read($line, $r->header_in('Content-length'));
        $line;
    }
This snippet is the tied sub which handles line reads from STDIN.
Apparently, his problem had nothing to do with $/ as was suggested. I
guess he should be using $r to access the POSTed data.
