How can I read a text file line by line in perl
read line one, dosomethoing read line 2 the do something and read line
three do something..

EX:

info>>this|is|some|info|
more>>thhis|is|more|info
more>>this|is|more|again
end>>this|is|the|end

The second line can appear many times, so I need to read the first
line and put that data into a scalar, then I need to reAZd the second
line, if the beggining of it starts with more>> then I will act
acordinagly. Then eventually the last line will be read and so
forth....

In your case, I'll suggest 'Learning Perl', 2nd edition. Its blue, has
a llama on the cover. Then you can discover how to code the previous
pseudo-code into valid perl...

Or you can just simply read the documentation that came with your
distribution, if you don't want to spend $30 for a book.

James - actually, perl combines the read with the while statement, so its
        a bit shorter than the pseudo-code
