dumb question

In a perl program, if you want to exit cleanly say in a menu, if you type exit.

how do you exit the program. I can't find out how to do it. I've tried the exit() function and exit keyword. I've also tried using system("exit") without luck.

Any tips?

It's getting annoying to ctrl+c all the time.

The exit function works as expected -- post the rest of your code : )

nevermind, dumb mistake I figured out what it was:

if you are curious it was

while ($input !~ /exit/)
{
with lots of different sutff in here

elsif ($input =~ /exit/)
{
exit();
}

#loop back to top
}
