You have 2 options... 1) Run your program from a command prompt. This is generally the preferred way to do it, but I'm like you, so I usually double-click mine, which brings me to option 2... 2) Create a pause at the end of your program. You can put in a pause that waits till you hit enter by adding these two lines to the end of your script: print "Press Enter to continue..."; my waitvar = <STDIN>; Hope this helps...
