apart from the long title (I used the better one used by toolic) and the poorly formatted text I suggest you to sign in order, in the future, to be able to edit your own post. For you personal colture PERL does not exists: Perl is the language name and perl is the program that executes your programs.

The, first, basic rule in programming is to translate a spoken problem or algorithm to a program.

> I must write a PERL program that randomly generates a number between 1 and 50 in groups of 5. Sum each group and display the results so that each number is on its own line.

The missing spec is: how many times you want to do this? let's say 3 time..

Let's see:

# a PERL program that..
use strict;
use warnings;

# the missing spec: 3 times
for (1..3){
    my $sum;
    # in groups of 5
    for (1..5){
        # randomly generates a number between 1 and 50
        # Sum each group
        $sum += int (rand(50)+1);
    }
    # display the results so that each number is on its own line
    print "$sum\n";
}
