Re: STDIN help for a new Perl coder

Look at chomp. That should give you a clue.

When you have a question about the value of a variable. It's a good idea to print it with delimiters around the value. Not all characters are visible.

   print "[$dir]\n";

Thank you, I will look at the delimiters as well to try that out.
