The following works for me:
----------snip-------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $winner = 1;
if ($winner == 1) {
print "$winner\n";
}
----------snip-------------
The above yeilds: 1
If you wanted to print "winner", then remove the '$' from the "print"
statement ;-). Oh Yeah! ...make sure your code is executable (chmod +x
<filename>).
