snippet merlyn This snippet was created accidentally with an empty title, while I was scanning for other snippets to up-vote. And it was created with an empty subject, requiring me to "view source" to pick out the node number, which I then next sent to myself as a message in the chatterbox as <code>/tell merlyn [id://31832|this one]</code>. I then followed the link, and was able to press the "edit this" link from there, which I am now typing at. <p> So, unable to think of something useful to put here (except the path by which I got to this node), I now give you... <table border=2 bgcolor="#ddffdd" colspacing=0 colpadding=3><tr><td> How to add 2 + 2 with Perl </td></tr></table> <CODE> $result = 2 + 2; print "the answer is $result\n"; </CODE>
