Or just let perl insert those semicolons for us. 

BEGIN { use Filter::Util::Call; filter_add(sub {                      
+         
my $s = filter_read(); s/$/;/mg; $s; }); }                            
+         

use warnings 
use strict 

my $n = shift || die "Usage: perl nosemicolon.pl NUMBER\n"

sub fib {
    if ($_[0] < 2) {
        $_[0]
    } else {
        fib($_[0] - 1) + fib($_[0] - 2)
    }
}

print "Fibonacci numbers from 0 to $n are as follows:\n"

for (0 .. $n) {
    print "fib($_) = ", fib($_), "\n"
}

print "Thanks for using this software!\n"
