I too am trying to learn perl and its very hard to get answers to topics you dont understand. I can lead you in the right direction just as long as you dont want gui output ... Theres probably a better way then this ... however ..
1. use the print (or better yet printf) command to print out the format of the menu. 2. ask the user for the menu option / create a scalar to catch this response. 3. setup if else to perform desired output based on user input. Read up on date and time its tricky. If your in the states - Get "Perl for Dummmies" I have a copy and refer to it always. It doesnt answer all questions but it provides alot of examples. Good luck !!

I need help to create a simple menu with input of a( current date), b(users currently log in), c(name of working directory), and d(contents of the working directory).
