Re: [MacPerl] Re: Variables into MacPerl Ask

[Nicholas.G.Thornton@directory.reed.edu (Nicholas G. Thornton)]

After learning of "eq" I fixed all the if statements (the original tests were
simulating eq; <= and >=).

the "###..." string above "#!" is to seperate the script off, not part of the
script.

For some reason if I write line three as...
     print "\n###############\n",@ARGV,"\n";
...instead of...
     print "\n","###############\n",@ARGV,"\n";
...it won't print the line out. (The line does show up once the program's
ended, however)

To answer your questions, I'm not using any perl book. I hope to get one this
weekend as I have some free time, maybe even tomorrow.
