Good morning most gracious monks, I need help with the following: I need to be able to ask a simple question and if they do not respond yes or y then I want the program to end. If they do answer yes or y I would like the program to continue and ask them if they are sure and if they say yes continue on to the next thing or exit the program. thanks bob ------------------------------------------------------------ 
next;
}
print "Do you want to submit Job A? ";
chomp ($question = <STDIN>);

# Submitting Job A
unless ($question=~ /yes||y/gi) {
die"Goodbye\n";}
else {
print "Are You Sure?  ";
}
chomp ($question2= <STDIN>);
        if ($question2=~ /yes||y/gi) {
print "You said YES !\n";
}
 else {
exit
  }
