I'm curious if anyone has an better idea of how to recieve multiple
lines of <STDIN> into a single array. For example, I've written a
really basic emailer for administrating email lists I'm on. I can get
it to recieve single line entries, such as a To: From: CC: etc from
<STDIN> with no problem, but haven't yet successfully tried recieving
multiple lines of text for the message body. I'm thinking something
like what follows, but I'm wondering if anyone sees a problem with
this or has a better solution along the same lines.
sub PromptForBody {
print ': ';
$thisLine = <STDIN>;
unless ($thisLine eq ".\n") {
push(@messageBody,$thisLine);
&PromptForBody;
}
}
I haven't tried the above yet. It's just an idle idea at the moment.
For now, I'm just having it open `vi` and then read the contents of
the resulting temp file into a scalar value. That works okay for most
purposes, but for the shere fun of it, I want to try doing it a little
differently. Comments?
