If learning Perl is your goal, you're definitely on the right track, and I just wanted to congratulate you for putting in the effort in this undertaking. The book you're working your way through is a very good resource. Your syntax is valid, and others have explained the point of failure and how to overcome it. Stick with it, and welcome to the Monastery!
