Since your new here I've decided to introduce you to the <code></code> tags. They make the code all nice looking and ignores the greater then and less than signs. This is how that should look...

#!/usr/bin/perl
$title = "Beginners Clarity"
print "$title \n"

# tongue of the masters;
# giant of code;
# functions, variables, much to learn on the road;
# interest, recreation and web coding be my purpose;
# programming code debugging verbose;
# I walk an ambitious coder, syntax armed;
# alone at the monastery gates I stand;

print "by kakarot \n";
