Forgive me for such a basic question, I'm brand spanking new to Perl and programming
in general.
This is from the exercises in "Learning Pearl", chapter 6, exercise 1.
The goal is to reverse the order of all the lines of a specified file.
The very simple answer given in the book is as follows:
print reverse <>;
Fair enough, but I wanted to explore and try a different way, I came up with the
following which doesn't work...
while (<>) {
@reverselist = reverse <>;
print "@reverselist";
}
This reverses everything, BUT the last line of the given file. Can someone tell me
why this pauses on the last line?
Thanks!
