I have a problem with a certain script, as a beginner.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# Cookie Monster
$cookie = "";
while ( $cookie ne 'cookie') {
print 'Give me a cookie: ';
chomp($cookie = <STDIN>);
}
print "Mmmm. Cookie.\n";
$cookie = "";
while ( $cookie ne 'cookie') {
print 'Give me another cookie: ';
chomp($cookie = <STDIN>);
}
print "Mmmm. Cookies.\n";
When I input 'cookie', the script will print the lines that will
appear from the first and second requests. The script will not print
the second request's demand. I think it's because the ne value is the
same for the two, and I cannot separate the demands unless I change
the ne value for the second demand to 'another cookie'.
You have to eat, er, clear the first cookie. :)
