while( total_ignorance ) help

I just installed ActiveState Perl 5.8 on a Win2k system. For a sanity
check I a one line script to take input from STDIN and print. Hey it
doesn't work. If I just perform a print with some text that works. So
can someone clue me in.
So, why doesn't this print out anything:
while(<STDIN>) { print;}

or

while ($line = <STDIN>) {print $line;}
thanks
