Sure you can. I recommend to start reading something like this:
Linux Shell Scripting Tutorial - A Beginner's handbook
or
BASH Programming - Introduction HOW-TO

Example to start with:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

echo "Enter a q and hit enter:"

read INPUT
if [[ "${INPUT}" == "q" ]]; then
     echo "You made it!"
     exit 0
else
     echo "Close but not correct."
     exit 1
fi

Sometimes it comes more handy to use case/esac.
Start reading the links I posted so you can have a start and ask if you get stuck.
Just in case: Homework or Classroom stuff may only be posted in the special subforum for it. Check the The UNIX and Linux Forums - Forum Rules to see what I mean Smilie

NAME
URI::URL - Uniform Resource Locators SYNOPSIS
$u1 = URI::URL->new($str, $base); $u2 = $u1->abs; DESCRIPTION
This module is provided for backwards compatibility with modules that depend on the interface provided by the "URI::URL" class that used to be distributed with the libwww-perl library. The following differences compared to the "URI" class interface exist: o The URI::URL module exports the url() function as an alternate constructor interface. o The constructor takes an optional $base argument. The "URI::URL" class is a subclasses of "URI::WithBase". o The URI::URL->newlocal class method is the same as URI::file->new_abs o URI::URL::strict(1) o $url->print_on method o $url->crack method o $url->full_path; same as ($uri->abs_path || "/") o $url->netloc; same as $uri->authority o $url->epath, $url->equery; same as $uri->path, $uri->query o $url->path and $url->query pass unescaped strings. o $url->path_components; same as $uri->path_segments (if you don't consider path segment parameters). o $url->params and $url->eparams methods. o $url->base method. See URI::WithBase. o $url->abs and $url->rel have an optional $base argument. See URI::WithBase. o $url->frag; same as $uri->fragment o $url->keywords; same as $uri->query_keywords; o $url->localpath with friends map to $uri->file o $url->address and $url->encoded822addr; same as $uri->to for mailto URI. o $url->groupart method for news URI. o $url->article; same as $uri->message SEE ALSO
