After you determine the colors, why not just code print qq|<body bgcolor="#$bgcolor" text="#$text">|; >I would also like the code to be able to use custom colors such as #BE9292. I wouldn't use that color code in particular, see my websafe color faq at http://face2interface.com/MYD/Developer_Tips/WebSafe_Colors.shtml for the reasons why this might be a bad idea. Specifying colors with their hex code though is totally cool. >Howver the code is doing strange things when it either has to write # from >what I enter on the web page because then it writes it as %23BE9292 That's because you are getting the raw input where special characters are represented by an ASCII transliteration of their hex codes. Sorry if that's a mouthful, but the short answer may be to check out the input fetching code examples on http://thecgibin.com/quickcode/getInput.shtml. >or if I call it from the perl script and only enter BE9292 as a color then >the script stops there and gets caught in a loop because to perl # is for >comments.. Hmm, I'd like to the see the specific code Mark. I generally don't run into problems with Perl mistaking a '#' comment delimiter with a '#' being used in a character string or other part of the code. I mean it can happen, but if you post your code maybe we can figure out what will work.
