The CARAT (^) is used for exponentiation just as the SLANT (/) is used for divide. So I would assume that in your program, 'm' and 'sec' are variables and you could write the expression like:

$some_val = $m / ($sec^2);

You will also probably require a math module and should refer to CPAN.org fopr that
