With the help of, & grateful thanks to Gangabass, Athanasius, GrandFather, philiprbrenan, & ww.
I offer my first proper Perl program to anyone who may like to use it.
Cycle Gear Ratio Calculator
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $fh = \*STDIN; # For test input, change to: \*DATA
###my $fh = \*DATA; # For user input, change to: \*STDIN
print "\nMulti Gear Calculator\n\n";
print "Enter Wheelsize (inches): ";
my $wheel = <$fh>;
print $wheel;
chomp $wheel;
print "Enter Chainwheel Teeth: ";
my $chainWheels = <$fh>;
print $chainWheels;
my @chainWheels = split /\s+/, $chainWheels;
print "Enter Cog Teeth: ";
my $cogs = <$fh>;
print $cogs;
my @cogs = split /\s+/, $cogs;
print "Wheelsize: $wheel\n";
print "Chainwheels: @chainWheels\n";
print "Cogs: @cogs\n\n";
for my $chainSel (1 .. @chainWheels) {
my $wheelMul = $wheel * $chainWheels[$chainSel - 1];
print "Chain wheel: $chainSel ratios: \n";
for my $cogSel (1 .. @cogs) {
printf "%5.2f ", $wheelMul / $cogs[$cogSel - 1];
}
print "\n";
}
