I just started learning the very ultra beginning of perl programming.
I am confused about these things below, Could someone tell me if they are true or false and if false, why?
Thankyou very much


1. ok, so a text string is anything that a variable holds.

2. A string literal is anything in quotes excluding numbers.

3. And in the script referenced above:

$name =<>;

The <> is also called a text string even though there is no data entered in it yet.
