Hallo and thank in advance. what am I doing wrong? I'm new to Perl. my Building string is not being built. is it that I need to declare the joined strings a string?How? Lou
#!/usr/local/bin/perl print qq|Content-type: text/html\n\n|; my $EW5NS5="TEST.gif"; ##this is the string I need to build. print qq|<TABLE>\n|; for ($row=0; $row<10; $row++) { print qq|<TR>\n|; for ($col=0; $col < 10; $col++) { ##build variable $Building=join("".EW.$row.NS.$col); print qq|<TD bgcolor=black>$Building</TD><TD></TD>\n|; } print qq|</TR>\n|; } print qq|</TABLE>\n|; print qq|x $EW5NS5 x <br>\n|; print qq|x $Building x\n|;
