( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Sorry for not being completely clear before but i just wanted to know if there was a better way to do it than a whole lot if if statements. But i still thank you for taking the time to reply. Origonal post: Dear Perl Monks, I am new to perl programming and currently writing my first useful program but i am having a problem trying to make a "command prompt" I cant seem to find a better way to do it than this:
sub more { print "more()\n" } sub fallover { print "fallover()\n" } print "Welcome to johns fun house\n"; print " : "; my $command=<>; chomp $command; if ($command eq "fun") { more; } if ($command eq "laugh") { fallover; }
Also, i would like to offer more than just two options.I have searched many tutorials searching for an awnser and havn't found one so your help is greatly appreciated...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
