After all the explaining above here is how you script should look like.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
$| =1;
print 'What is your name: ';
my $reply = <>;
chomp($reply);
print $reply;
print "\nHi $reply \n";
print "$reply, please enter your income tax:" ;
my $var = <>;
if ($var < 5000)
{ print "no tax"; }
elsif ($var > 5000 && $var < 30000)
{ print "the tax rate is 10%"; }
elsif ($var > 30000)
{ print "the tax rate is 20%"; }
print "\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).
