Hey

I have made a perl executable and its working , the problem is at last when it should display 'ABC.txt' has been created , it displays and closes the cmd prompt window , without allowing user to see it .

So can we do something like "press key to exit"

so atleat user can view the displayed message

    Something like this: 

    use warnings;
use strict;

print "Hello, World";
print "Press Enter to close";
<STDIN>; # or just use <>

    If you tell me, I'll forget.
    If you show me, I'll remember.
    if you involve me, I'll understand.
