[Israel.pm] problem with a test

OK, I solved it and you gave me the idea :)
The problem was that when I gave the file the program thought it as a
parameter and didn't know what to do with it, while waiting for user input
because of <>. So I thought may be if I will add an open file it will know
what to do and it solved the problem.
The only thing I don't get is why then did it work if I use the full
program? Why the test doesn't work as the program or vice versa?
