Thanks!
But the problem is the following:
the user has to enter an url and now i want to put "http://"; always in front (and show it on the screen) so that the user doesn't have to enter this everytime.
How about:
chomp( my $input = <> ); $input = 'http://' . $input unless m!^http://!;
Hope that helps.
