[Chicago-talk] @ARGV while(<>)

[Richard Reina]

Apologies.  Since the program is on a private network I am copying it into the email.  Here is code with the omitted lines that come before:

#!/usr/bin/perl5 -w 

use warnings;
use strict;

sub delimit {

my ($tos, $ccs, $rp, $sb, $body, $in_file) = @_;

if (defined $in_file) { # file submited 

@ARGV = $in_file;

$body = "";  

while(<>) {

unless(/epsf\[/) {
    $body = $body . $_;
} # end of unless

} # end of while

} # end of if    

} # end of sub


Randal what does a single undef mean?  Does it mean only one file?

should I do:

@ARGV = qw($in_file);  

?
 Now, @ARGV contains only a single undef, which I *think* will  
 Thank you very much for the replies.  In answering Matt's question the 
files are between 20 and 100 lines.
