Can I prompt for user input after reading piped input on STDIN in Perl?

Question

I'm trying to write a perl script that reads piped data, then prompts the user for input based on that data. The following script, prompt_for_action, is what I am trying to do:

#!/usr/bin/perl 

my @hosts = ();
while (<>) {
    my $host = $_;
    $host =~ s/\n//; # strip newlines
    push(@hosts, $host);
}

for my $host (@hosts) {
    print "Do you want to do x with $host ? y/n: ";
    chomp(my $answer = <>);
    print "You said `$answer`.\n";
}

but when I run it there is no waiting for user input, it just blows through without waiting for me to type:

$ echo "test1.example.com
> test2.example.com" | ./prompt_for_action
Do you want to do x with test1.example.com ? y/n: You said ``.
Do you want to do x with test2.example.com ? y/n: You said ``.

If I don't read my data from STDIN...

#!/usr/bin/perl 

my @hosts = ('test1.example.com', 'test12.example.com');

for my $host (@hosts) {
    print "Do you want to do x with $host ? y/n: ";
    chomp(my $answer = <>);
    print "You said `$answer`.\n";
}

then script works fine:

$ ./prompt_for_action 
Do you want to do x with test1.example.com ? y/n: y
You said `y`.
Do you want to do x with test12.example.com ? y/n: n
You said `n`.

Is piping to STDIN and then prompting for user input possible? If so how?

On Unix-y systems, you can open the /dev/tty pseudo-file for reading.

while (<STDIN>) {
    print "from STDIN: $_";
}
close STDIN;

# oops, need to read something from the console now
open TTY, '<', '/dev/tty';
print "Enter your age: ";
chomp($age = <TTY>);
close TTY;
print "You look good for $age years old.\n";
