Simple Perl question
Hello,

I'm completely new to Perl and I'm just looking for a quick answer to some code I'm trying to come up with. I'm trying to access a website, part of the URL I want the user to be able to define via standard input. As you can see below I'm still trying to get the syntax.

HTML Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple;

my site = <>;
getprint('http://www.example.com/$site') or die 'Unable to get page';

exit 0;
I'm borrowing the above code from another website. It works if I hardcode the URL rather than using a variable called site. I'm guessing the solution is simple. I appreciate the help. Yes I did search past threads for the answer.
