Situation: I am reading into my script via param() a textarea called Job Duties. When I print out that parameter in perl all of the new lines are ignored and it prints as one long string. Q: How do I get the perl print statement to recognize the new lines so that the printed output looks like the html input screen? Perhaps the print statement is the wrong thing to use but..... I've been looking at regex's and the split function and have been able to determine that there are infact newlines in the data but they are being ignore when I print out the data. Any assistance would be great. Thanks.
