#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $abc = 1000;
until ($abc == 0) { print "Counting down to 0 from $abc\n"; --$abc; }; print "Blast off!\n"; Remember your semicolons and try to use strict. I try to be readable above all else. Because then at least if the code doesn't work, it looks really pretty. Which is an ongoing theme with me by the way. Pretty Code with little function. Heck, in a language with dollar signs all over it and no indent function that's a pretty heavy feat.
