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.

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).
