Welcome to the forum, please use <code> tags around your code and data as it makes it legible (You had to preview this post to send it, how did you miss that it was mangled?)
Is there a space between the two arguments on the command line? if not you would see what you have described

UpdateThough escaping the quote forces this as Marshall describes below.

print "Good ",qw(night morning afternoon evening)[(localtime)[2]/6]," fellow monks."

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.
