in thread Really, how do I get input from the keyboard.

There is more than one way to do it.

Of course there is. There are thousands of ways of outputting "Just another Perl hacker.\n" too, and yet, none is easier, clearer, and more robust than:

print "Just another Perl hacker.\n";

When the job can be best accomplished with a hammer don't try using a heavy wrench or the heel of a shoe to drive a nail, unless of course, you're just showing off. ;)
