I am relatively new to MacPerl and I would like to know what is wrong with my code. print ('Please type something: '); $input = <STDIN>; if ($input = PAULINE){ print ("Hola amigo\n") }else{ print("I don't know you\n") } I want it to print out hola amigo if the STDIN is Pauline. If not I want it to print out I don't know you. Sorry to bother you guys... Jorge ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org
