maryum comment on The Definitive Guide to Bash Command Line History

Organizations which design systems are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations. (For example, if you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler)

hello...
i have recently started learning perl.....and having issues when i try to read input from another file. the details of a script that i tried to run are as follows:

i made a text file by the name “text.txt” and the contents were
Sidra|38|BE
Hira|48|BE
Shagufta|50|BE

Then i wrote the following script

open(DAT, "text.txt");
$data_file=" text.txt ";
open(DAT, $data_file);
@raw_data=;

close(DAT);
foreach $student (@raw_data)
{
chomp($student);
($name,$roll_no,$class)=split(/\|/,$student);
print "The student $name bearing roll number $roll_no is in class $class";
print "\n";
}

the script produces no output and displays a message saying
“readline () closed filehandle at line ”
I tried the same with another file by the name “text.dat” holding the same data but it did not work either. Please help me out resolving this issue.
Thankyou...
