in reply to OO Perl Baby Steps
In Perl, the semi-colon ; is not a statement terminator, as it is in languages like C, C++ and Java, it is a statement separator, as it is in Pascal and UNIX shells.
So, the last statement in a block does not require a semi-colon after it. It is a good idea to put one in though, because someone (maybe you) later will add another statement and get a syntax error.
