Wow this is so cool! Thanks Boris/C/Mirod!
I intially thought I will just learn how to open multiple filehandles but got lured into implementing the paste command like program (not there yet :)).. Here is my code but for some reason my $line variable does not get set to undef when 'all' filehandles runs out of data...Should i be checking for something else to terminate the loop?
I guess the code will be much faster if i can generate perl code that puts all the filehandles into one line without looping them through it...
#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w
# Open many file handels
# C's code
foreach my $file (@ARGV) {
my $fh;
open $fh, "<", $file or die "Can't open $file ($!)";
push @filehandles, $fh;
}
while (1) {
$line = undef; # Not sure whether this is even required.
foreach (@filehandles) {
$line .= <$_>;
chomp($line);
}
print ($line,"\n");
last if undef($line);
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
