Hi Saran,
overall, pretty good code.

You need a chomp() call here:
{{{
my $c = <>;
chomp($c)
}}}
Note that I've omitted the STDIN - using ARGV instead of STDIN is almost
always a better idea.

Now this should work properly, but note that you should write it as:
{{{
print "${c}C is equal to ${f}F\n";
}}}
No need to split arguments so erratically, and you shouldn't use «"$c"»
instead of «$c», unless you want to stringify a special object (which in this
case you don't.
