    This came out garbled. Next time, use <code> tags instead of <pre> to have it display properly. Here it is:
    # #my #intro #isn't this #bit of code a #little bit obscure? sub www(){print"ERROR";#, print "opening";print "file!";exit(0);} open(hF, ">echo.txt") or www;print "enter something :"; my $inz =<STDIN>;if (length($inz)> 20){ print "Error!
