<font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">You shouldn't be trying to get it to print from inside VIM. VIM is used to edit the file. Then, you try running it from the command line (where you typed "VIM" into) using the command "perl assignment_6" (without quotes). If your program is correct, you will see "Hello World" appear below.<br>

</div></div>You have it keyed in where? Do you have all this saved in a file? What's the file called?<br>
<br>
You want to save all this in a file called, for example, "<a href="http://hello.pl" target="_blank">hello.pl</a>". Then, you run it by running "perl <a href="http://hello.pl" target="_blank">hello.pl</a>". What OS are you on?<br>
