Hi! I'm still wallowing in Chapter 3 (Arrays. Why can't I get it?!?!?!? ARGH!!!!!) of 
Learning Perl on Win32 Systems. I'm trying to create an exercise but I'm not getting 
the results that I want. Here's what I'm trying to do:

I'm asking for a list of names:

 print "Name your friends: ";
 @names = <STDIN>;

Then I want to pretend that I know the one of the friends. In this case, I'll choose 
the 2nd one and here's where I'm not getting what I want:

  print "I know $names[1].\n";

The output shows "I know ." 

Isn't "$names[whatever]" what I'm supposed to use to get an element of the array? I've 
tried this with numbers and have gotten the same results. What am I doing wrong? 
Thanks! :-)
