I am trying to print an Array and a String in the same instance, but it does not work.

The code I'm using is:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# This script should ask for a list, a number, then display
# the line entered of the list in reference to the number

print "Hello, please enter a list:/n";
@list=<>;
chomp @list;
print "Now, enter a number:/n";
$number=<>;
chomp $number;

# OK, now print the results
print "Line $number was: $list[$number-1]";

I know this does not work, but I do not know why.

Could the reson for the non-workage be because I'm stuck here at work using ActivePerl on Windows or is the reason simply that this cannot be done?

Any suggestions or comments are welcome.
