Hi supriyoch_2008,

It looks like you want to return a string of text from your "display()" function (and then maybe you should call it something besides "display"). For example: 

sub display
    { my ($self) = @_;
      if ($self)
        {
            my $text = " Student Name:  $self->{NAME}\n";
            $text   .= " Age (yr):      $self->{AGE}\n";
            $text   .= " Regd no:       $self->{REGD_NO}\n";
            return $text;
          } else {
            return "Not found";
         }
      }

As it is, you're just returning the last thing, which is the value of the print statement (TRUE if successful).

say  substr+lc crypt(qw $i3 SI$),4,5
