Thanks for the talk, Walt.

we were talking about the -n switch, when i asked if we could trick perl 
into running two loops with some extra curly braces.  there seemed to be 
some confusion about what i was talking about, so here's what i found:

your example was along the line of:
perl -ne 'print if length > 80' foo

and i was wondering what exactly perl did with the -n switch -- did it 
simply wrap the code with while(<>){ and } ?

so to test, i tried this:
perl -ne 'print if length > 80 } { for(1..3){ print }' foo

which works how i figured it may.  might be useful sometime...
