One stupid question

[Brian Bratcher]

Ok, I have developed a few cgi scripts. Some are located at: 
http://www.addapage.net/cgi-scripts/index.html
I have developed on an "as we learn" type of situation. Now I must ask;

what is the difference between:

my $number = 200;
and
$number = 200;
?

Im sorry to be stupid in this manner, but I see it all the time in other scripts. I 
don't undersand

Thanks in advance
Brian
