reading a file line by line

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

array references

Greetings, I have an array, each element will contain a reference to another array. How can I dynamically generate each of those references such that each reference is unique. I am trying to create dynamic 2d arrays. TIA JON -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional
