Re: perlfaq6: I put a regular expression into $/ but it didn't work. What's wrong?

I know this is the example from the docs, but you end up still putting
a regex in $/, and it won't work for (and will screw up) other
filehandles in the program.

This would be a safer way to show it:

         use File::Stream;
         my $stream = File::Stream->new($filehandle,
                                        separator => qr/\s*,\s*/,
                                       );

         print "$_\n" while <$stream>;
