Handling from posted form

I am trying to write posted information from a form <textarea> into a file.

For reading back from file I am using the following perl:-

open(INFILE, "filename");
@ALLRECORDS = <INFILE>;
close INFILE;

and processing each record with:-

foreach $record (@ALLRECORDS) { }

I cut out the newlines from the textarea value before writing the records to file with:-

$textareavalue =~ s/n/#/g;

This adds the # symbol where I would expect the newlines (n), but still the 'foreach $record' line takes each line of the textarea as a seperate record.

Is there something else I have to cut out with the s/// command?

You could try something like...

foreach $record (@ALLRECORDS) {
chomp; # remove a newline IF there is one
$MOTHER_RECORD = $MOTHER_RECORD.$record."#";
}
