I have a file that I don't know how many lines are in the file. Does perl has read line function that can read the file line by line until the end of the file? What is the syntax like? Please help me on this. Thanks.

hi eileen
while(<>){
$line_count ++;
}
print $line_count;
put that in a script and feed its STDIN with the file
