The while loop also performs iteration and in CGI scripts is
primarily for reading lines in a file. The while loop
can be used to read and print out every line of a file with
the following syntax:
open ([FILE_HANDLE_NAME], "[filename]");
while (<[FILE_HANDLE_NAME]>)
{
print "$_";
}
close ([FILE_HANDLE_NAME]);
The script would print out every line in the file "filename"
because the "$_", the Perl "default" variable, represents
"the current line" in this case.
