Ahhhh....thank you Nicholas! THAT'S what I was doing wrong.......I thought I needed to run the command inside of VIM. Thanks so much!!
2010/3/19 Nicholas Nisi <nicknisi@gmail.com>You shouldn't be trying to get it to print from inside VIM. VIM is used to edit the file. Then, you try running it from the command line (where you typed "VIM" into) using the command "perl assignment_6" (without quotes). If your program is correct, you will see "Hello World" appear below.
Thanks,

2010/3/19 Wendy Moroz <wmoroz18@gmail.com>I am using UNO's Blizzard account. I have the file saved as "assignment 6". I then VIM assignment 6, and that is where I am trying to get it to print. Is this not correct? Sorry, I am really confused here. :(

You want to save all this in a file called, for example, "hello.pl". Then, you run it by running "perl hello.pl". What OS are you on?
