print "First value: "; chomp ($value1=<STDIN>; print "Second Value: "; chomp ($value2=<STDIN>; print "Operator: "; chomp ($value3=<STDIN>;
print ($value1 $value3 $value2, "\n");
But that was malfaunctioning. Is there a way to put the STDIN for the operator directly in the print line or do I always have to keep it that long winded?

use eval..
print "Enter a expression to calculate:\n"; $expression = <STDIN>; chomp($expression); print eval($expression), "\n";
