Days in confusion

Hi Perl porters,

I know I'm quite confused, but after a whole day writing Java you get really 
confused. I wrote today:
	use strict;
	use Curses::UI;

	my Curses::UI $cui = new Curses::UI;

What would you expect to happen? The first thing actually happened was 
nothing. No error, to warining, plain nothing.
Then I tried 
	use strict;
	use Curses::UI;

	my Curses::UI $cui = new Curses::UI;
	print "!$cui!\n";

And again nothing happened. Quite interresting.
O.K. perl somehow bails out. Next try.
	use strict;
	use Curses::UI;
	print "Hello World";
	my Curses::UI $cui = new Curses::UI;
	print "!$cui!\n";
And again I got nothing. That's got me somehow confused.
The thing is, writing print "Hello World\n"; outputs it, so perl somehow 
decides to stop on this my line. It returns a false value on comman line, but 
gives no warning or error.

Is this expected behaviour?

Have fun,
	Marcus
