    Basically, perl tries to read the script to execute from stdin (in this case, your keyboard) if no script was given on the command-line for it to execute. So it was waiting for your input for that hour. (To terminate the input, you can press ctrl-D on the command-line for Unix (you may have to press enter before that), and I believe it is ctrl-Z on dos/windows.)
