Ok what I was doing wrong was for the newline was using / instead of \n. So it was printing it on the line and going to the next line before it could be seen. Since I changed this can use ./"filename" or pearl "filename" to run. Thanks for the help.
After reading some of the post just was wondering if I'm starting to learn the right language first. I am studying to be a network administrator or a job in that field. Is this the best language for me to start on? ----- Original Message ----- From: "nyec" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "David Leathers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, January 05, 2003 2:53 AM Subject: Re: Help with Hello world On Saturday 04 January 2003 10:18 am, David Leathers wrote: > #!/usr/bin/perl > print"Hello World"; Are you sure it's not printing with your prompt immediately after "Hello World"? Try putting a new line after "World" and it may be noticeable. print "Hello World\n"; nyec -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
