Re: strange problem with STDIN- need help

i managed to figure out the cause.
i was undefining $/ .I wanted to use slurping technique.i.e reading in a
small file in a variable & then making the changes.

Ive now undefined this within a local context.
Its working fine now.
anyone has an idea how this is affecting <STDIN>.
I tried using $|=1 but that did not help.

Thanks
Poonam
