You're using "Elements of Programming Perl", right? The mathq example? You are probably creating a new $correct at each pass through the loop. Try putting "my $correct" and right after "my $quit = 0;". That way all you do is add to the value of $correct for each correct answer. If you're using a different book and this doesn't make any sense, my apologies. --Ivory	[reply]

Sorry about the f'd-up post `my $correct; if ($response eq 'q') { $quit = 1; } elsif ($response == $solution) { ++$correct; print "Correct! You have $correct answers\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
