RE: iinfinite loop

[Jeffrey Goff]

Judging by the loop you seem to want, something like

$data="Hey\nThis is\nmultiline";
@everyline = split(/\n/,$data);

is probably more appropriate for your purposes. However the original
comments re: $data never being modified still hold true.

Because the while loop will loop for as long as $data is "true" or contains
data....  Considering that it has data in it, you have created an
"infinite" loop....

The following seems to never break out of the loop,
any comments?
Thanks

#!/usr/bin/perl -w


$data = 'some
multi line
string';


    while($data){

       push(@everyline, $_);

    }
