The program (porabably) reads data from STDIN (standard input). Windows and Unix allow you to "pipe" a textfile to STDIN so that when the program tries to read from STDIN, it will get the contents of the file. Usage: say I got a program called program.pl and an input file called input.txt, both in the same directory. To pipe, execute the program as follows: program.pl < input.txt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
