Hey Jim,
Makes perfect sense now. Thanks.
Just so I make sure I understand it correctly: So every time I use a while
(<FILEHANDLE>) loop each line of input from the file gets assigned to $_ in
each iteration of the loop?
Almost.
<> is an operator. Each time<FILEHANDLE> is evaluated, a line is read from
the file and assigned to the $_ variable. This is regardless of whether or
not<FILEHANDLE> appears in the condition of a while statement.
Untrue. Try it yourself and see.
