Because, I plan to write another perl script that will calculate pi and write it to a file. The current file being used, pi.txt, has the following formating that will eventually match the other script:
31415926535897932384626433832
So I need the string to be broken down into single values (like 3 or just 1 or just 4) in order to do the comparisons.
If I don't declare all those variables as being global, Perl refuses to compile the script :/
