Greetings Monks

Im a all new to Perl, and have dreams of one day reaching the Perl Niavarna - but before that I need studdy for a few years.

Thus my first question.

This is my project. #Write a program that computes the circumference of a circle with a radius of 12.5
#Circumference is 2(pi) times the radius (approximately 2 times 2.141592654).
#The answer you get should be about 78.5

This is how I solved it 
$pi = 3,141592654;
$resultat = 2*$pi*12,5;
print "$resultat";

quite simpel - but when I run this code in Komodo Personal 4.0 I get the following messages:

-----------------------------------------------------
Useless use of a constant in void context at
C:\Users\Max\Desktop\Perl Arbejde\opgave1.pl line 6.
72
Useless use of a constant in void context at
C:\Users\Max\Desktop\Perl Arbejde\opgave1.pl line 7.
-----------------------------------------------------
It says that I got a useless use of a constant in void
context ? I can't find out if I can boil down my code

anymore ? It is really anoying that it also gives the
result 72 when that not the corect result. Its really strange.

Many thanks for reaching this point in my question.
