Re: [vox-tech] Perl: setting default input channel?

[Mark Kim <mkkim@ucdavis.edMAPSu>]

Got it.  Thanks!  I didn't realize you can overwrite STDIN.

I was originally thinking along the lines of:

   $varname = <>;   # I read from STDIN

I read something interesting.  Executing <> doesn't actually read from
STDIN, but it first checks the arguments in @ARG, and if there are no
arguments, it uses "-" (STDIN) but it opens the file pointed to by $ARG[0]
if any exists.  Interesting...
