Some ways to fix the given code:

strlen :: IO ()
strlen = do  putStr "Enter a string: " >> do
                   xs <-  getLine
                   putStr "The string has "
                   putStr (show (length xs))
                   putStr " characters"

strlen :: IO ()
strlen = do  putStr "Enter a string: "
              do
                   xs <-  getLine
                   putStr "The string has "
                   putStr (show (length xs))
                   putStr " characters"

strlen :: IO ()
strlen = do  putStr "Enter a string: "
              xs <-  getLine
              putStr "The string has "
              putStr (show (length xs))
              putStr " characters"
