Bonjour M Dhoubrechts Si je vous comprends .. If I understand you, you're expecting the characters '\n' to appear in the printed output? In Perl, '\n' is one of the short ways of expressing a single ASCII control character, this one is LF - or 'linefeed' - which has value 10 in the ASCII sequence. Others are \r for CR - 'carriage return', \t for HT - 'horizontal tab' etc.
This means that you won't see the '\n' in the output, but following text will start on a new line. Hope this helps, Rob "Dhoubrechts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Every time I want to use a perl script as a cgi the "\n" ending the > phrases doesn't make it going at the beginning of the next line.
