Grep to find item in Perl array

Question

Every time I input something the code always tells me that it exists. But I know some of the inputs do not exist. What is wrong?

#!/usr/bin/perl

@array = <&g         


        

Answer 1

In addition to what eugene and stevenl posted, you might encounter problems with using both <> and in one script: <> iterates through (=concatenating) all files given as command line arguments.

However, should a user ever forget to specify a file on the command line, it will read from STDIN, and your code will wait forever on input
