[Perl-unix-users] [PMX:#] Prepending

[jna]

I am trying to prepend something and ran into an issue.   I am using a snipped like this:   if ($a == 1) { $pre = "nc_"; }   Later on when I try to use this:   print <<EOM; <a href="">Something</a> <a href="">SOmwhere</a> Lots of other html snipped EOM   Now when this prints the link Something will print nc_whoopi.pl?action="" when $a == 1 and whoppi.pl?action="" when $a != 1 ... But the last line the link SOmwhere will print nc_ew.pl?Action="" when $a == 1 and ew.pl when it doesn't?   Why does this work on the any think starting with w but nothing else? How can I get the $pre appended to my html? $pre has to be seperated from the script url or it thinks its actually a var?   Thanks, John
