Re: Re: Re: I lower my head in awe and shame... mainly shame.

Hmmm... now in scanning the other answers, I guess I AM wondering why it didn't print: "Hello World/n" {error and all}, or prepend my prompt with something. It's not ABSOLUTELY vital I know the answer to this, but now just curious... trying to rebuild debugging career and all. Thx, paul P.S. You probably WERE NEVER THIS dumb!

It wouldn't have generated an error, but you may be Suffering from Buffering?. To find out, change your code to the following: `#!/usr/bin/perl $\|++; print "Hello World/n";` [download] --Jim Update1:* Added the "/" to the shebang. Note that executing this program will look something like the following since your newline is mangled: `prompt> helloworld.pl Hello World/nprompt>` [download] Update2: * provided you ran your program from the root (/) directory, the relative path would've worked if the rest (usr/bin/perl) was correct.

#!/usr/bin/perl
$|++;
print "Hello World/n";

--Jim

Update1: Added the "/" to the shebang. Note that executing this program will look something like the following since your newline is mangled:

prompt> helloworld.pl
Hello World/nprompt>
