Hey im just learning this perl it i think its pretty cool. Im sure im just missing something reallly simiple but can't put my finger on it. Been looking for answers for hours, So i thought i might get some help. Heres what i have so far on this code snipplet:
######################### #Create the Menu Fuction# ######################### sub menu{ system "cls"; print "You have entered these Values for each of these fields."; print "If you wish to Fix any of the information now. Select Number to + Change:\n"; print "\t1. First Name: $fname\n"; print "\t2. Last name: $lname\n"; print "\t3. The School you work at: $school\n"; print "\t4. Your phone: $phone #\n"; print "\t5. Position: $position\n"; print "\t6. Role: $role\n"; print "\t7. Unique Password: $pass\n"; print "\t8. Done\n"; print "Type a number to Choose to fix: "; #----------------------If user Picks 1-------------------------------- +---# if(<STDIN>== int 1) { system "cls"; $fname = ""; while ($fname eq "") { printf "\n\nPlease Enter your First Name: "; $fname = <STDIN>; chomp($fname); &menu; }#end of while loop }#end of if(); if(<STDIN>== int 2) { system "cls"; $lname = ""; while ($lname eq "") { printf "\n\nPlease Enter your Last Name: "; $lname = <STDIN>; chomp($lname); &menu; }#end of while loop }#end of if(); }#end of sub menu menu;
Trying to make it so when the user pushes the number for the menu it will bring you to change the value of the variable but i can only get the first option to work and the others will not work at all :/
