You have your print statement inside a loop that's executing 100
times. Of course it's going to print "a whole bunch of stuff". Just
because you didn't indent the print statement doesn't mean it's not in
the loop. I don't know if that's what's confusing you or not.
Indentation is only used for code readability. White space is not
significant in Perl.
Move your print statement outside the loop, that is, after the } that
ends the for loop.
