Hi all,
I am using the diamond operator to redirect input to my perl script. I want to
copy all of the input on to a single variable using the following subroutine:
sub getfile # Copies the file redirected to this perl script to the varialbe $x
{
my $x;
local $/ = undef;
$x = <>;
return $x;
}
The problem is that when I try to print what the above subroutine returns, the
program kindof hangs. That is, it doesn't just print the output and then send
me back to the command line, instead I have to press Ctrl-c to break out of it,
like it is expecting input from the keyboard.
Any help is appreciated,
Robert
