G'day MissPerl,

Welcome to the Monastery.

"... after a few days of self-learning perl ..."

I'd recommend reading through "perlintro - Perl introduction for beginners". It's not particularly long (about 10 screenfuls on my monitor) and will walk you through the basics. As you've only just started learning Perl, you have (quite understandably) made a number of novice mistakes: this document should go a long way to clearing up those problems.

In addition, it's peppered with links to more detailed information and advanced topics. Return to this document when the need arises, and delve into the specifics as required.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
