You can use both of those, but you don't really need to. The above should work just fine. But don't all those escapes of the double quotes give you a headache? There are so many better ways of doing that: print qq|<p><a href="http://www.mysite.net/";> <img src="site_images/$image" width="160" height="180" alt="image" class="float-left" /> </a></p> |; Having said that, when working with HTML you should really be using templates. I like Template Toolkit (http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Template) and also use HTML::Template (http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?HTML::Template) but if you're coming from PHP then Mason might be more up your alley (http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?HTML::Mason) -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP
