Depends on Machine?
I am trying to learn PERL programming. I copied this example from a book just to try it on my machine. It worked out fine but when I tried it on another machine, an error appears: syntax error near unexpected token ';'.
I tried it on a third machine but a new error appears: command not found.

Here is the scipt:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
system "clear \n";
print "\nPractice Only:\n";
$inputline = <STDIN>;
system "clear \n";
print"\n\n\n";
print( $inputline );

The work station is sunOS.

I don't what's the difference between the machines.

check your path to your perl interpreter...

# which perl

The script is the same on all the 3 machines and the perl location is also the same (path - which perl).

On the third machine, try executing "clear" from the command line. It is probably not in $PATH or not on the machine.
