Hi there,

I'm a noob to Perl and just wondering how to add all numbers in an array to give a total using a foreach loop? My code looks like this..

#! /usr/bin/perl # # # use strict; use warnings; #------------------data------------------------- my @Rainfall ; my $Index ; my ($Total, $Average) = 0, 0; #------------------program---------------------- print " Enter 12 numbers for the rainfall for each month \n"; for ( $Index = 0; $Index < 12 ; $Index++ ) { print "Enter a month's rainfall: " ; chomp($Rainfall[$Index] = <STDIN>); } # # now we have all the input, we can do things with it: # foreach (@Rainfall) { $Total = $_;
This is where im stuck! any help or another way to do this would be much appreciated!
