Every time you create a post here, you get a reminder to use code tags, it literally looks like
Use: <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and: <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML"
so follow the advice, and put your code in between code tags, its where code (and data) goes :)
Now your code doesn't use lexical filehandles, which means you have not read perlintro . It also doesn't use strict or warnings, and in fact, it has syntax errors
$ perl -c pm.911696.pl
No comma allowed after filehandle at pm.911696.pl line 10
So for the time being you should forget about whatever program you're trying to write and work through perlintro to get up to speed.
