Hello dear monks, thank you for helping me with my previous question regarding my first assignment which I was given by the book I'm learning from. In the second assignment, I've been given an exercise which asks the practitioner to compare two files. Firstly, it asks me to type the code print "Hi Mom.\nThis is my second program.\n" I open up my text editor in ubuntu, and type up this code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;

print "Hi Mom.\nThis is my second program.\n";

and I save it as "newline.pl" Unfortunately, when I open up the terminal in Ubuntu, it doesn't work. I typed in perl begperl/newline.pl I specified begperl as the folder because that's where it is located. However, I get this message back: "Can't open perl script "begperl/newline.pl": No such file or directory" I then tried writing the code as print "Hi mom. This is my second program." and saved it as newline.pl and still I got the same message returned to me as: "Can't open perl script "begperl/newline.pl": No such file or directory" That's funny to me because when I created helloworld.pl that is the same folder where I saved it in, and it worked just like it was supposed to. I'm not sure as to why it's not working now. When I type in perl begperl/helloworld.pl it still works fine, I get the message, Hello World! What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your suggestions in advance - it's highly appreciated :)
