in reply to A Newcomer can't get the user input!

It's just that you are expecting a prompt, but haven't provided one. If you do this:

print 'Radius? '; $radius = <STDIN>;
all will be well.

I'm unfamiliar with Komodo, but this is a method that works cross-platform. A GUI popup is a little more complicated. I'd suggest learning those bits later.

    I added
    print 'Radius? ';
    as the first line of the code.
    It didn't help but thanks anyway. -John11
