my $A = 250; # Pizza price
my $B = 300; # Selling price
my $C = $B - $A; # Difference
print "A = $A \n B = $B \n C = $C \n";
Good news - Perl actually allows variable names with more than one character in them. This means that you no longer have to remember what $B is supposed to represent. Instead you can give that variable a meaningful name.
my $cost_price = 250;
my $sale_price = 300;
my $profit = $sale_price - $cost_price;
print "Make them for $cost_price\nSell them for $sale_price\nMake $pro
+fit on each\n";
Addendum: There is, as with most things, a happy medium.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
