I really can't stand it when people ask for help and y'all turn on them. Yeah this is obviously a homework problem, but if he's got to ask he's clearly got a teacher who can't teach.

Most any perl tutorial will tell you how to do this, but you have to break it down into simple parts.

First you're going to ask for input. Try this example or search perlmonks

Now you're going to check for bad input. Look here under the while and until section

If you have bad input you're going to send something to STDERR. Here's a place that tells you about STDIN STDOUT AND STDERR

If your input is good you're going to print "Fahrenheit Celcius" (as pointed out above Celsius is misspelled). Here's a A Perl Tutorial: Super-Basics it describes how to print out stuff.

Now you're going to iterate. Check out this tutoral

Now "e" should really be back up when you check for bad input. There is a perlmonks node on How to identify a number datatype in a string?

And now voila you've got a script.
