Hi jonagondos,
check this in your code:

if ( $choice = $an2 ) { ... } elsif ( $choice = $an1 ) { ... }
I suppose you want to use
if ( $choice == $an2 ) { ... } elsif ( $choice == $an1 ) { ... }
You are assigning to variable $choice, the value of the variable $ans2 using the assignment operator '=' .
So, whatsoever, value inputted was replaced by the value of variable $ans2.
In which case variable $choice value is ALWAYS evaluate to 2 the pre-defined value of variable $ans2, so your elsif(){...} statement is not being evaluated.

If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
