Hello. I am new to Perl. I used to program in C years ago (not C++ # etc) I have the simplest question. I am running active state perl 5 on Win XP.
I'm using OpenPERL Ide 1.0 #!k:/perl/bin/perl.exe # # Camel-Learning Perl # Exercise 2-4 # Input a & b from Console <STDIN> # Then multiply & print them # print "Enter an integer: ",$a=<STDIN>; # This don't work # print "Enter an integer: \n"; # Neither does this $a=<STDIN>; # ... This program excerpt above is driving me crazy! I can NOT get the PROMPT to appear BEFORE the program waits for input. I have tried several different ways to do this. No matter what I do, the screen stays blank, until I enter a value, THEN the prompt is printed! This works for me, but when I get into a larger program, the USER is going to have to read the PROMPT BEFORE they know what to type in! Can you help me out here?
