Greetings,  I am trying to read a text file into a scalar variable line by line 
until EOF or a search test if fullfilled.  I have been reading files in like 
this:

chomp (@line = `cat filename`);

I do not want to do this beacuse my file is quite large, and there is no reason 
to hog the memory for the little bit I actually want, and second, I do not want 
to make a system call to the unix cat command.  TIA Jon
