Hmm, are you just putting spaces between your names. You'll get a new
element in your array each time you press enter if you use "@array =
<STDIN>".

Can you confirm your input data is.

Sam[RETURN]
Mary[RETURN]
Joe[RETURN]
CTRL-Z[RETURN]    (as you're on windows)

try printing $names[0] to prove the point, or print the entire array with...

foreach my $name (@names) {
    print "==> $name\n";
}

Good luck
