<> is not the same as STDIN. see preldoc perlop, I/O Operators.

       The null filehandle <> is special and can be used to
       emulate the behavior of sed and awk.  Input from <> comes
       either from standard input, or from each file listed on
       the command line.  Here's how it works: the first time <>
       is evaluated, the @ARGV array is checked, and if it is
       empty, $ARGV[0] is set to "-", which when opened gives you
       standard input.  The @ARGV array is then processed as a
       list of filenames.
....
       
       
Best wishes,
 Maxim                            mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
