SPUG: "last" behaving oddly in -n loop

[Andrew Sweger]

It's behaving the way I would expect of "last". I thought the file
arguments were all run together in the <ARGV> of the while(). If you want
to detect the end of individual files (while using normal IO functions), I
thought you need to manually check eof().
