[ale] Simple Perl Question

[z.yu at ptek.com (Jerry Z. Yu)]

	'split' is probably what you are looking for.
	don't suck the whole file into an array if the file tends to be
big or your RAM is at premium.

	$ifile = "./52.txt";
	open(INFO, $ifile) or die "Failed to open $ifile: $!\n";
	my $junkFirstline = <INFO>;
	while (<INFO>) {
		chomp;
		@fields = split /|/;
		# do something with those fields
	}
	close(INFO);
