If you can correct this –
chomod +x myFirstPerlProgram.pl to remove the ‘o’ from chmod please do so. I got hung up for a little bit until I looked down at your example console input.

@Alexandr Ciornii,

STDIN need not be written in caps, i copy pasted the working program.

You can not omit , If you omit how will the interpretor know where to take the input from??
Character were modified by the wysiwig editor during an update, i will fix them now.

Thanks for taking the time to comment
