tayacha has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I am an extreme newbie. I found a personality test https://metacpan.org/source/NFERRAZ/Personality-Type-MBTI-0.05. I don't know how to run it in Linux Mint. I installed it but do not know what to do with the following information 

 use Personality::Type::MBTI;

    my $mbti = Personality::Type::MBTI->new();

    # sample results from a questionnaire
    my @test = qw/i e i e i n s n s n t f t f t p j p j p/;

    # calculate type
    my $type = $mbti->type( @test );

    print "Your type is '$type'\n";

How do I use that information? How do I run it? I was able to successfully create my first hello_world.pl but that is the extent of my Perl knowledge.

thank you for your help

    As mentioned in the chatterbox, save this to a file, run the file as you would any other perl script. e.g.

    d:\pm\perl mb.pl
Your type is 'intp'

    Again see Tutorials -> Getting Started with Perl, http://learn.perl.org/first_steps/.

    Update: since there's still confusion, save the following as mb.pl:

    #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Personality::Type::MBTI;
 
my $mbti = Personality::Type::MBTI->new();
 
# sample results from a questionnaire
my @test = qw/i e i e i n s n s n t f t f t p j p j p/;
 
# calculate type
my $type = $mbti->type( @test );
 
print "Your type is '$type'\n";
