I am trying to learn perl. I am going through a tutorial and have come across a syntax error I can't figure out. Here's the code: print "Please tell me your name: "; chop ($name=<STDIN>); print "Please tell me your nationality: "; chop ($nation=<STDIN>); if ( $nation eq "British" or $nation eq "New Zealand" ) { print "Hallo $name, pleased to meet you!\n"; } when I try to run it, it generates a compile errors on the if line. I know its the conditional test, but don't know how to fix it to be syntactically correct in perl. Any help? thanks, -D
