That is what is supposed to happen

[kevin@bowline ~]$ perl
print "Hello World\n";
^D
Hello World

It sits there waiting for you to type in a program and then press
Control-D to tell it to execute the code you typed in.

  en> perl -v ,works, but nothing else.

It might help to provide the output of perl -v so we have some idea
what version of perl you are using.

What are you trying to do with perl that this is causing you such confusion?
