stdin break

[eatr]

trivial question unless you don't know the code

I need to read in a sequence of typed in numbers to an array

simple enough @arry=<stdin>;

so

i type in 1 number HIT RETURN
type in another number hit return, etc
(or just type in numbers with spaces, or whatever)

how do I break out of the STDIN sequence, for example by typing 'EXIT', or whatever; i.e. let the program know I'm done typing?

^C doesn't get it done

You might also be able to get away with ^d (ctrl+d) on a unix box, or ^z (ctrl+z) on a windows box.
