Hi,

I saw the following code about splitting a file into several pieces:

perl -014pe 'open(STDOUT,">fred.$.")' fred

I couldn't find what -014 means. Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

See 'perldoc perlrun':

"Switches include:

-0[octal/hexadecimal]
specifies the input record separator ($/) as an octal or
hexadecimal number. "
