I am trying to configure E-Macs to use Perl but for some
reason it won't read in user input. For example, the code: 

print "what's your name?   ";
$name = <stdin>;
chomp $name; 
print "hello, $name!\n";


has the following output in emacs:
what's your name? hello, !

This script works on a command prompt, but not in emacs. Any 
help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, 

Matt
