while (defined($_ = <>) && !/End of list/) {
There are various problems with your original:
- while (<FH>) is the only syntax that assigns to $_ and checks for
definedness for you
- the not-match operator for regexes is !~, i.e. $foo !~ /bar/
- while not really a problem, you should probably go with the more
idiomatic <>, rather than <ARGV>
