Changes that I found to make it work:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
sub dispBlanks {
print "\n\n";
}
sub clrScr {
system("clear");
}
sub dispMenu {
#clrScr; # <-------------- commented out
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(); # <-------------------- missing semi-colon
my $choice = <STDIN>;
chomp($choice); # to remove newline
print "you chose $choice";
dispBlanks;
}
