I have wrote a program that stores five numbers in different variables

This is the part which is confusing. You clearly know how to use arrays so why not start with an array?

my @nums = (5, 10, 15, 20, 25);

That way your sum could be written:

my $totalSum = 0; $totalSum += $_ for @nums;

or alternatively

use List::Util 'sum'; my $totalSum = sum @nums;

And your final array assignment could become

my @array = map { $_ / $totalSum } @nums;

By starting off with separate scalars, everything you do becomes repetitive. It's feasible for 5 numbers, but what about 30? or 100? or 1000000?

The other thing I would change is to remove the -w from the first line. Using warnings as you have done is better as it gives lexical scope and finer control where needed. The -w negates all that.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
