It's probably your IDE.
This works from a console:
print "Enter an integer: \n";
my $answer = <STDIN>;
print "Enter another integer: \n";
$answer = <STDIN>;
It fails in my editor because the editor is
using a method that captures i/o from a console
under windows XP. Open a console (DOS prompt)
and type the following (change where appropriate).
perl path/to/script/script.pl

If you force your window users to use a console,
this is most likely how they will access it. Not
through your IDE. Using a command line interface on
a windows platform would really lower the usage of
your program though. Windows users want GUIs.
