Issue reading password from STDIN after STDIN was read from redirect.

[Anthony Tippett]

I've have a program that reads input from STDIN like so:
example: program < file.txt
and then I try to read a password from STDIN that the user types in but 
it skips right over that section.  Do I have to do anything to STDIN 
before I try to get user input from it?  Perhaps close and reopen it?

--snip
# read all of STDIN
while($line = ReadLine(0)){
    $STDIN .= $line;
}
#then ask for user password
if($password){
  print "$user password: ";
  ReadMode('noecho');
  #####################################
  # skips over, doesn't ask for user input
  #####################################
  $DBPASS = ReadLine(0);
  ReadMode('restore');
  print "hi $DBPASS\n";
  chop($DBPASS);
}
