Thanks for the responses - so many and so quickly.
I'm sure I'll be back with more. I am working my way up to writing a program that will read and store temperature information from some external sensors.

I am just learning to use Perl on OS 10.3. I am not an experienced Unix programmer, so I am probably doing something very basically wrong.
My first "Hello World" script is not executing. I created a Plain Text script using TextEdit and saved it in my Documents folder with the name "simple_print".
In Terminal, I give a pwd command and get back the reply: /Users/username
When I type: perl /Documents/simple_print, I get the diagnostic Can't open perl script "/Documents/simple_print": No such file or directory
That seems to mean I am making some kind of mistake with the path name.
The first line in the program is: #! /usr/bin/perl
What is wrong?
Nick
