Subject: capture a carriage return from <STDIN>
I have a script that pauses while the reader reads the intro text, and
askes them to press return to continue. At the moment I capture the
input from STDIN into a variable called $waste, do nothing with it, and
continue anyway. The script complains when it runs...
Name "main::waste" used only once: possible typo at ./addUsers line 66.
Is there a better way of doing this?
I don't know if it's "better" but you may wish to consider:
...
print q{To continue, please press "Enter":};
<>;
...
