Does anyone know of a cute trick to be able to read records
from either a filehandle or a scalar. I guess you would
need to treat the scalar as a file handle in order to get
this to work.
Something like:
sub getRec
{
my $in = shift;
# if $in is a scalar...do some magic
my $rec = readline( $in );
}
Thanks,
Joe
