latex markup

right now I have a latex section that looks like

\begin{minipage}{0.35\textwidth}   %left column
...
\end{minipage}
\hfill
\begin{minipage}{0.55\textwidth} %right column
...
\end{minipage}

This makes a nice looking two column layout, but I would like to add a vertical bar between the two minipages (where I currently have \hfill). What is the easiest way to do this?

Using

\begin{minipage}{0.35\textwidth}   %left column

...

\end{minipage}

\hfill\vline\hfill

\begin{minipage}{0.55\textwidth} %right column

...

\end{minipage}

Works without needing to change to parbox and staying with minipage.
