in reply to Finding sum of numbers and storing it an Array
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.
