Exiting a program! - perl
how would you exit out of a programm correctly, without having for the program to crash?

for example
Code:
print "Enter quit";
$input = <STDIN>;

if ($input eq "quit")
{
  {QUIT THE PROGRAM}
}
else 
{
  print "invalid input";
}

one more thing, how do u exit a program "correctly", if the user unexpectedly closes the program?

thanks
