Not to put too fine a point on it...
my $m = 100;
for (my $num = $n; $n <= $m; $n+= 10){
print "$num\n";
}
prints all zeros and a few uninit warnings. I think you meant
my $max = 100;
for( my $num = 0; $num <= $max; $num += 10 ) {
print "$num\n";
}
which is a mistake one does not need coaching to come up with when using
C-style for loops.
