Thanks for the help with the reverse if and else. I ended up <sigh> using a single line forward if on a single line. Now my next question. I'm using a jumbo here tag (I think that's what they're called) to add html to a string. I need to use a variable within the tag (done this before, no problem) but I need to have text immediately following the variable name. How do I tell Perl that the text is not part of the variable name? Here's my code:
sub print_html_beginning { my $html_ref = shift(@_); my $get_to_index = shift(@_); ${$html_ref} .= <<"___HTML___"; Content-type: text/html <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html class="white_on_black"> <head> <meta HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title> Hotspot Tracker </title> <LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="$get_to_indexcss/hotspot.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA="screen"> in the link tag Perl thinks the var name is $get_to_indexcss... Thanks. ~Frank __________________________________ Yahoo!
