Odd. I just tried the same code snippet and it worked fine.
You might try putting a space before and after your "=" signs. I don't
know if that makes a difference, but it won't hurt.

I'm not sure either :-)
Street="Wright";
This is wrong syntax; "Street" is not a scalar variable, while "$street" would
be.
print "$street\n";
$street is undef here, you didn't assign anything to the $street variable.
$street="Washington";
That's ok, but never used.
And i get this output.
Street/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$
Weird, I can't explain that. Your code (is it a snippet from the actual code?)
does not even compile on my box and (correctly) emits the error:
Can't modify constant item in scalar assignment at - line 1,
near ""Wright";"
Execution of - aborted due to compilation errors.
- How exactly did you invoke your code?
- What is output if you run the code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $street='Wright'; # ok, why not :-)
print "$street\n";
$street='Washington';
print "$street\n";
__END__
?
