Hi!

I am currently reading a book called Learning Perl. I have a copy of
RedHat 4.1 Linux which came with a copy of Perl 5.

Now the stupid question.  I would like to write a new script on my linux
box, could you tell me what the command line would be to make a new
script.

As in windows you would just go to new, so I thought maybe in perl I
could type;

$perl new

but that didn't work.  I have studied most of the online documentation,
and unless I'm going insane I can't find this basic piece of information
anywhere.

Thanks for you time.

Programming in perl has nothing to do with windows-like working. Perl is only
a programming language and it can interpret given as argument files. So you
have to write a set of perl commands in a text file (let's say "my.first.pl"
- .pl is the default extension to perl files) and than you should type in
shell "perl my.first.pl". You can also write "#!/usr/bin/perl" (I assume
that you have perl in this path) in the very first line of the file and than
change it's mode to executable (chmod 755 my.first.pl) and than just run it
in the same way as any other programm. Just remember: when this file is in 
your current directory you have to type "./my.first.pl", not just "my.firs.pl"

Jesli ktos grzecznie pyta, to wypada mu odpowiedziec. A ludzie chyba
sa na tyle kumaci, ze zrzumieje a jak nie to nie musza czytac. Watpie
zeby grozil nam zalew angielskojezycznych pytan.
