Hi All:
My thanks to Curtis Poe, Maxim Berlin, Alessandro Lenzen and Remco
Schoeman for contributing to the resolution of this problem.
In brief the problem was that I had three different types of line ends
(none, UNIX line end and Windows line end) showing up in an HTML page I was
creating from an older HTML page (created on a Windows box) and a perl
script. One of the problems came from the use of a template created on a
Windows '98 box and included as a block in the new page. None of the line
ends were handled properly when the file was opened. This was quickly
replaced with a heredoc assigned to an array, but again, the line ends were
not handled properly. At one point MSIE 6.0b was pulling in the page but
when I viewed the source, again, none of the line ends were handled
properly. I then used cat -vE pagename.htm to view the page and again, the
line ends were not correct.
I then replaced the heredoc with 70+ scalar assignments and subsequent
pushs onto the array. Finally, the line ends started to straighten out.
However, a bug in MSIE 6.0b showed its head. It appears, although not
scientfically proven, that MSIE 6.0b does not refresh properly when
shift-refresh is used. In all fairness, the file was travelling across a
Samba network and we can't expect MSIE to work with that.
The result is that I replaced all "\n" with "\r\n", removed the heredoc
assignment to an array and removed the template. Well, that was one
experiment. A few million more to go.
Thanks to all who responded.
