I guess I didn't quite use the original code. I made the mistake of
typing what it should have been instead of what it was:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$street="Wright";
print "$street\n";
$street="Washington";
It's amazing what a dollar sign and a change of case can do.

Hello Marc
Odd. I just tried the same code snippet and it worked fine.
Do you refer to the original code?
#!/usr/bin/perl
Street="Wright";
print "$street\n";
$street="Washington";
This would be very odd?!?
You might try putting a space before and after your "=" signs.
Yes, many people consider this better formatting style...
I don't know if that makes a difference, but it won't hurt.
... but it won't change the interpretation of the code by perl :-)
