Might I interject and recommend using an <%init> block for all your perl? Use <%init> ... </%init> to surround raw perl (no need for % on each line) and thus set up your variables. Then within the actual HTML you can use minimal perl, e.g. % foreach or %if. The <%init> block can go anywhere in your page. We tend to put it at the bottom so the web monkeys don't have to confuse themselves with scary perl :) Anyway it means that not only do you have less junk in your page, it also means that it becomes more obvious where your syntax errors are. If you only use print statements outside the <%init> (except for debugging of course), and even then you use <%$foo%> to print, you'll probably run into many fewer errors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
