Hi folks I am new to perl. this is my first real program in perl. The program is not doing what i intend it to do. The problem in nut shell is that: I expect to see the menu first and then input my choice. but the program asks for my choice first and then displays the menu
Please have a look and see what am i doing wrong. Thanks a ton for your time guys. code ---------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; sub dispBlanks { print "\n\n"; } sub clrScr { system("clear"); } sub dispMenu { clrScr; print "\n\n=== Student Manage Pro ===\n"; print "1. Display all students\n"; print "2. Display a particular student\n"; print "3. Add a new student\n"; print "4. Delete a student\n"; print "0. Exit\n"; print "Please choose one of the options\n"; } while (1) { dispMenu my $choice = <STDIN>; chomp($choice); # to remove newline print "you chose $choice"; dispBlanks; } ---------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
