Um, lol, where to begin....

Well, like I mentioned, I am pretty new. I am literally on page 36 of 'Learning Perl, 5th Edition'. And I did use -w in my code when trying out different things, yet I still received the same message as I showed in my original post. Read below, though.

As for the / before usr, I didn't mean to sound like I was completely dismissing the idea, but I knew it wasn't that because all of my other programs work without it. If there is a reason why it would be different for one program and not the others, please tell me.

Ikegami, sorry about the semicolon. I have a tendency to overview my posts, and I thought I had accidentally missed it. Turns out I did on the program, too. :P. But, this introduces a new problem. Hello world only prints once, but I want it to print 20 times and then the program to say "Wait...".

Ig, I am running Ubuntu 11.04 and when I want to run a program I type in 'perl name.plx'.

Also, thanks JavaFan and Ig for "defending" me, but the last thing I want to do is create hostilities between people.

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.


Do you know where your variables are?
