Re: what happens to the rest of a file piped to head/tail?

[Steven Pritchard <steve@silug.org>]

I said:
> cat file | perl -e 'while (<>) { print if (++$count>20); }'

Someone has pointed out to me that this is equivalent to

    cat file | perl -e 'while (<>) { print if ($.>20); }'

I always forget about some of those built-in perl variables...
