Especially if you are a beginner, you should place the statements use warnings; and use strict; at the beginning of all your code:
c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -le
"use warnings;
use strict;
;;
use utf8;
;;
my $pi_char = chr(OxO3c9);
print qq{Greek letter '$pi_char' here};
"
Bareword "OxO3c9" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at -e line 1.
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
I.e., "OxO3c9" (letter "O" vice decimal digit "0") is not a hex number, as already noted. See warnings and strict.
In other words, "Help Perl to help you."
Give a man a fish: <%-{-{-{-<

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).
