Hi, I am very new to perl, just started this week :) so my question might sound a bit dumb but I am lost and need some help. I am trying to write a simple program which will read a number input by the user and print it. 10x

You can get input from the user by reading from "STDIN", the standard input device, which defaults to your keyboard.

my $input = <STDIN>;

You can print that input, which is now in the variable $input, with the print statement.

print $input;

Did you want it printed 10 times, or was that 10 kisses? ;-)

print $input x 10;

When you get input from the keyboard, you also get the newline character at the end. If you don't want that, use the 'chomp' function to get rid of it. I suggest you check out the excellent Tutorials on this site, and don't forget to use Super Search to look up more examples that you can learn from.
