(MeowChow) Re4: Look ahead and join if the line begins with a +

[MeowChow]

I based my code on japhy's solutions, none of which were stripping newlines, probably because Rhodium didn't specify if he wanted them removed, or the lines to be simply concatenated as-is into single list items.

$lines[ @lines + 1 - s -^\053|\012--g ] .= $_  while <DATA>;

This fails by adding an undef element to the array if a newline is not the final character in the file. Changing my original easy enough though, without any regex or substr nastiness:

chomp, $lines[@lines - s/^\+//] .= $_ while <DATA>;

               s aamecha.s a..a\u$&owag.print

Touche. But.....

chomp, $lines[@lines - s/^\+//] .= $_ while <DATA>;
__DATA__
+
Oops, Just another Edge case

Well, didn't I say it was a vulgar solution? :-)
