Fibonacci Generator v$VERSION
Usage: $0 [-ch] [number]
-c\tPrint output in a single column (default is rows)
-h\tPrint help text (what you're reading now)

    Include how many numbers in the sequence you want, 
    otherwise it defaults to 100.
END
    exit;

my $stop = shift || 100;

    ( $x, $y ) = ( $y, $x+$y );
    print $y;
