This has been answered already (you have one item in your array), so 
$array[1] is empty.

If you skipped a line after Joe, then again $array[1] will be empty. Someone 
posted clear directions on the input steps. But I agree with what was 
psoted here, forget the <STDIN> for today and just use:

my @array = qw/Kevin Dick Jane/;

print "I know $array[1].\n";
