Hi Guys,
trying to get the following code to print each line where relevant....but it only
prints the first statement "yes its one!" even if the $variable is "5"....
$variable = $var
if ($variable == "1"){
print MAIL "yes its one!\n";
} elsif ($variable == "2"){
print MAIL "it is two!\n";
} elsif ($variable == "3"){
print MAIL "the number three.\n";
} elsif ($variable == "4"){
print MAIL "4 is on the cards.\n";
} elsif ($variable == "5"){
print MAIL "number 5 is alive.\n";
} elsif ($variable == "6"){
print MAIL "pick up sticks.\n";
} elsif ($variable == "7"){
print MAIL "go to heaven.\n";
} else {
print "this is not working\n";
}
any ideas where I might be going wrong? I copied this direct out of my perl
book....theoretically it should work right??
regards
Cat
