Beginners question

Hi all,

I've just got a copy of Learning Perl, and experience problems allready
at the second example in the book.

The Hello world script runs very nice, whereas the rest of the examples
of Chapter one e.g:


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

print "What is your name? \n ";
$name = <STDIN>;
chomp ($name);
print "Hello, $name!\n";

Doesn't do what they seemed to be supposed to do. Is this due to
limitations in !perl or RISC OS?

cheers
