Counting (easy!)
I'm sure this is easy but I'm a newbie. I was doing control statements (for,
while,etc.) like this:
for ($count = 1; $count = 5; $count++) {
print $count\n;
}
What I wanted to do was to make each number appear in sequence like you see
in a countdown (or up, in this case) instead of all on the screen at once.
I've tried using sleep but I'm not getting anywhere with it. Any ideas?
Also, any methods or ideas on how to approach creating code in general? For
example, what's the thought process for trying to do what I want to do? I've
tried pseudo code and it's helped some but then I hit the wall and don't how
to go further. Thanks!

Re: Counting (easy!) (YES!!)
I think I figured it out! A FIRST!!
for ($i = 1; $i = 5; $i++){
sleep 1;
print $i\n;
}
I prints out like this: 1...2...3...4...5
YES!!
Thanks everyone! :-)

Using Perl with PC Anywhere?
Hi! Newbie question here but is it possible to use PC Anywhere with Perl? If so, how? What kinds of things can you do? This question came up in a conversation with some friends and so I thought I'd ask the group. I'm sure I'm a typical newbie in that I'm having trouble sensing the possibilities that one can do with a language. _ Compare high-speed Internet plans, starting at $26.95. https://broadband.msn.com (Prices may vary by service area.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
After Beginning Perl?
Hi! I've completed Beginning Perl by Simon Cozens. What do you recommend as my next book? I'd like to tackle Networking Programming with Perl by Lincoln Stein or Win32 Perl Scripting by Roth but I'm not sure if I'm ready for these. Should I go for something like Learning Perl or Programming Perl before I learn sockets and Win32 or is it ok to go for it? Thanks!
