Why does the script hang when I try to read the last line of the file using <STDIN>?

[Manikank]

I have a multiple lines file that I read. It reads all lines except for the last line

if (defined($$bb = <STDIN>)) 
	{

                print LOG" in if condition\r\n"; 
		$readCount += length($$bb);
		if ($readingFile) {
			$fileCount += length($$bb);
		}
		
		return 1;
	}
else {
          print LOG" in else condition\r\n"; 
          return 0;
 }

The print statement got executed for all the lines of the file and did get executed (either in the if or else) for the last line of the file.

Are you trying to read from a file, using <STDIN>? Can you post the rest of your code please? I would love to see how you have this setup.
