Nifty. I eneded up doing this:


#!/bin/perl -w
# Perl Course Program
# Part 2: Scalar Variables
# Exercise "a" : Write a program called 'average.pl' to calculate the average of
# the following numbers: 23, 28, 31, 17, 1

use strict;
my $sum;
$sum = 23 + 28 + 31 + 17 + 1;
my $average;
$average = $sum / 5;

print "The average of 23, 28, 31, 17 and 1 is $average\n";



ad astra,
