Hallo!

perlfaq 5

"How do I change, delete, or insert a line in a file, or append to the beginning of a file?"

7. Beispiel.

Für mich wäre es verständlicher wenn man statt:

Code (perl): (dl )

my @lines = do { local $/; <$in> }; # slurp!

Code (perl): (dl )

my $scalar = do { local $/; <$in> }; # slurp!

schreiben würde.

Subject: Error of Perlfaq?

Hello Brian!

Concerning perlfaq 5

"How do I change, delete, or insert a line in a file, or append to the beginning of a file?"

7th example:

Code (perl): (dl )

my @lines = do { local $/; <$in> }; # slurp!

which doesn't really make sense for me...

Wouldn't it make more sense to write

Code (perl): (dl )

my $scalar = do { local $/; <$in> }; # slurp!

instead?

Bye
