You miss-spelled the variable name, this is exactly the kind of small yet important mistake that "strict" and "warnings" is will help you find in your perl scripts.

my $input_received=<STDIN>;
exit if $input_recieved =~ /exit/i;

Kevin,

Just because I am a perl idiot, can you tell me what strict and warnings will do if you "use" them or if you don't "use" them?

Redson,

Did you mean because you are not a perl idiot?

strict - Perl pragma to restrict unsafe constructs
warnings - Perl pragma to control optional warnings

warnings just prints out warning messages that perl thinks is a possible problem the programmer or user might want to look into. Very useful when writing a program or debugging a program, it will alert you to all sorts of potential problems.

strict forces the programmer to use good perl programming practices. The official definition is that it "restricts unsafe constructs". It basically makes sure you've crossed all your T's and dotted all your I's and everyting is kosher before letting you unleash your programs on the world.

No, I *am* a perl idiot. I don't know nufin' about perl, except that it looks messy.
