Hello Monks. Currently, I am making this program that pretty much serves as a study guide for my math class. Unit 6 has to do with quadrilaterals, so I made another script aside from Unit6.pl called CMQIA.pl that runs the "Casio-Maxim Quadrilateral Identification Algorithm" (don't ask). I made it so that if you type "quit" into the script, it'll go back to Unit6.pl. I used:  if($choice !~ /ready/i) {require "Unit6.pl";} Since require LABEL; runs the program, I thought it would work. However, since Unit6.pl has  if($Choice =~ /crazy maxim/i) {require "CMQIA.pl";} something really weird happens now. If I run Unit6.pl and I type crazy maxim, it goes to CMQIA.pl. Then, if I type quit in CMQIA.pl, it goes back to Unit6.pl. Then, if I go to CMQIA.pl from there again, it gives me:  Can't exec "Unit6.pl": No such file or directory at CMQIA.pl line 12, <STDIN> line 3. I've tried a bunch of other things in conjunction with the original code from CMQIA.pl, but nothing ever really works. Any solutions? This is the full code. Unit6.pl 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
CHOICE: print "
    This is Unit 6 - Quadrilaterals and Polygons.\n
    For the Final Exam, you will have to know the\n
    properties of all quadrilaterals and how to\n
    prove that a given shape is any quadrilateral.\n
    To access the Quadrilateral Information Database,\n
    type 'Quads.' To access the Casio-Maxim Quadrilateral\n
    Identification Algorithm, type 'crazy Maxim.'\n
    Type 'quit' to exit Unit 6.\n
    Type your choice.\n\n";
my $Choice = <STDIN>;
chomp $Choice;
if($Choice =~ /quit/i) {print "\nBye.\n\n"; exit;}
if($Choice =~ /quads/i) {require "Quadrilaterals.pl";}
if($Choice =~ /crazy maxim/i) {require "CMQIA.pl";}
