You mention EOF and you mean EOL (end of line). Since you know the
correct variable you have read
perldoc perlvar
I am not the expert however I recall reading something about using local
I am guessing something like this:
sub myfunction
{
local $/ = "\r"; # I am a mac file!
my $input;
open( $input, '<', "MYMacFile.txt" )
or die "Unable to open MYMacFile.txt $!";
while( <$input> ) {
...
}
close( $input );
}
