G'day mandalmanas5519,

You've got your logic fairly messed up there with the same condition controlling both the if and the elsif.

Perhaps drawing yourself a flow chart or writing some pseudocode might help. From your description, I think you want:

Want SAB?
If 'y'
    Get SAB

Want Date?
If 'y'
    Get Date
else
    Exit

Once you've got the logic sorted out, there's a few other issues you'll need to address. For instance, use strict; will probably tell you about most of them (see strict) and you may want to chomp $date.
