Are you giving it an input line? <STDIN> returns one line (in scalar context, anyway) from standard input. Since this is not cygwin related, you may want to try asking this kind of question at http://perlmonks.org/?node=Seekers%20of%20Perl%20Wisdom or perl beginners (http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=beginners) or comp.lang.perl.misc or comp.lang.perl.moderated. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
