Knowledgeable Monks-
The following if elsif else script should stop and
print the associated message if "snowing" is inputted
in answer, but it doesn't. Please advise. Thanks, as
always, Monks. You guys rock
#!/usr/bin/perl
# walkies.pl
use warnings;
use strict;
print "What's the weather like outside? ";
my $weather = <STDIN>;
print "How hot is it, in degrees Celsius? ";
my $temperature = <STDIN>;
print "And how many emails left to reply to? ";
my $work = <STDIN>;
chomp($weather, $temperature);
if ($weather eq "snowing") {
print "OK, let's go!\n";
} elsif ($weather eq "raining") {
print "No way, sorry, I'm staying in.\n";
} elsif ($temperature < 18) {
print "Too cold for me!\n";
} elsif ($work > 30) {
print "Sorry - just too busy.\n";
} else {
print "Well, why not?\n";
}

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
