Umm... feedback? well...

For first, you don't use Strict or -w, then you go on to declare your variables in an awkward way. Did you try to do my $title; instead of $title = '' ?

next, the elsif is ugly, and do you need to re-print the line each time I type it?

the while loop is unbreakable, how can someone exit that? and you might want to redirect STDOUT to a file, so one can save what he is writing quickly.

That's my 2 cents for it.

He who asks will be a fool for five minutes, but he who doesn't ask will remain a fool for life.
