Sorry , I have been programming all night and found an oversight on my part.
Perl reported and error in a sub routine, but the error was above the routine above some of my comment lines where I didn't expect it to be. <!-- END COLUMN HEADINGS OF CART --> That was part of html code that was out of place. Live and learn I guess. I'm learning alot about reading compiler errors, and this is a new error report that I'm not familiar with. Next time I will look above the sub routine. Thanx
