Hi, I am learning perl and hit a snag! I was hoping someone could help me with this really simple question. I am trying to make a program that takes in a list of numbers as input, and each number represents the corresponding name in my @name array. So if I put in 2 3 4, i should get betty barney dino as my output. But right now I only get fred as my output. It does not run through the entire list! Why is that? Did I code something wrong? Thanks
@names = qw/ fred betty barney dino wilma peblles bamm-bamm /;
chomp(@list = <STDIN>);
foreach (@list)
{
print "$names[ $_ - 1 ]\n";
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
