Dear Monks,
I'm embarrassed to impose on your remarkably good will but I'm at a loss.
I was reading the Llama at a MS Windows box. I got to "Getting User Input" and tried out the example:
$line = <STDIN>;
print "That line of input was: $line";
When I run the script by 2-clicking on the cute pearl icon, the window displaying the output disappears faster than I can see whether the program succeeded or failed.
Where do I learn how to control that window? In fact, I don't care so much about seeing what's sent to STDOUT as I do about having STDERR persist in a visible form when the program is launched in this way.
Thank you (again).

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
