Re^2: Mapping list to hash is dropping list items

If I understand correctly, <> will read from @ARGV unless it is empty in which case it will read from STDIN?

Also, why did you wrap everything between my @alTags and print in a block?

When used like this the diamond operator is actually glob which generates a list of filenames; those filenames are used to populate `@ARGV` and (yes) then the plain `<>` readline version will implicitly read from those files. The block was (my guess) probably intended to scope the local change to `@ARGV` to just that section of code. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
