If you used "use strict;", Perl would tell you what is wrong:
Code:
No such class site at ./a.pl line 6, near "my site"
syntax error at ./a.pl line 6, near "my site ="
Execution of ./a.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

Scalar variables in Perl start with "$", so correct code could look something like this:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple;

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