Arrays and Hashes

Reading Standard Input

• The assignment operator and the <STDIN> operator can be combined with an array as well as a scalar.
• When used in an array context, the <STDIN> operator will load all remaining lines from standard input into the specified array.
• Loading continues until the end of pipe signal is recieved.
• End of pipe signals are generated from a Ctrl-D from a unix command line, the end of file for a file, or the death of sending process for a pipe.
• Example:
  

  @FileContents = <STDIN>;
