I can't get the simple Perl "Hello World" script to work.
I can't get the "Hello World" program in the C++ book I
began reading
to work. Seems to compile without errors, but nothing on my
CRT. Will
try it again and start a thread here... :-)
Let me guess...
you named it "test", right? Then when you run "test" "nothing" happens?
two things:
- there's already a program named test, which displays no
output, it merely has an exit status. 2. for a program in your current directory, run it with a preceding "./", e.g., "./test"--because "." is not in the path (and shouldn't be).
This reminds me. I tried playing with c++ once back in like 96. I made a hello program on my windows 95 system and then forgot about it. I kept that system and never reformatted all the way through to windows xp. I could not believe it was working.
One day in 2002 or so, I entered the command prompt and bored, typed 'hello' to my computer. It replied by saying 'hello bob, about time you got this working'
So, after I got spooked, I remembered that program from years ago...still on the computer.
I know off topic, but it was funny
