Hello All!

I have a HTML text box that I need users to write what ever they like in
it.  Similar to the following....

my $oofmsg        = param('oofmsg');
$me = 'dan';

That gets passed on through a scrolling text box and from there it is
writen to a file like the following....

open VAC2, "+< $file"  or die "Cannot open $file in update mode:$!";
flock(VAC2, 2) || die "Can't lock $file exclusively: $!";
print VAC2 $oofmsg;
system("cp -Rf $file /home/$me/$file");
close VAC2;

So far everything seems to be working fine except for the fact that the
variable $oofmsg doesn't keep it's formatting from the scrolling text
box.

I mean if the user types the following into a text box like so...

Hello World

How are you?

Dan

The file $file is written to as the following...

HelloWorldHowareyou!Dan

Is it possible to keep the formating? I.e new lines and spaces?

Thx,

Dan
