Because in both cases your while condition
basic perl problem which is annoying me, the code is:
---
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $string;
my $subString;
my @indexes;
print "Enter a string:\n";
chomp($string = );
print "\nEnter substring to search for:\n";
chomp($subString = );
## This while loop does what i'm after
#my $pos = -1;
