Gunnar:

I have attached the CGI script: weekly.pl. The subroutine save_weekly()
captures the 'executive summary' and 'details' values entered into the textarea via
$summary = param('executive summary') and $details = param('details').

For Debug purposes, I print $summary and $detail. I may make this a review
feature. Anyway, none of the text displays without any carriage returns.
I am beginning to suspect this is due to HTML not recognizing these
characters in the variables. Hmmmm.

Attachment: weekly.pl
Description: Binary data

When I do this, apparently carriage returns are either not captured
in as part of the value returned from the textarea value, or I am
not handling the value returned correctly to recognize carriage
returns.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to how I can solve this
issue?

This discussion in comp.lang.perl.misc may be helpful:

Otherwise, post a short but complete program using Perl that
illustrates the problem you tried to explain in English...
