The problem is how to concatenate the variable '$pre' to the string
'woopi.pl'
without having it treated as a variable named '$prewoopi'.
Try putting your filename into a variable
$fname = "woopi.pl";
and use
<a href="$pre$fname?action=something">Something</a>
Bill,
Is there already a good means of doing this, or would it be reasonable to
request
a new escape sequence ('\^' for instance) where the sequence was merely
used as a
terminator during interpolation.
It would mean that we could then use
<a href="$pre\^woopi.pl?action=something">Something</a>

Paul Keirnan

I tried that as:
<a href="$pre/woopi.pl?action=something">Something</a>
<a href="$pre/new.pl?action=wit">SOmwhere</a>
and it doesnt work when $a == 1 the printed out results is
nc_/new.pl?Action=wit ? I also tried
<a href="$pre\\woopi.pl?action=something">Something</a>
<a href="$pre\\new.pl?action=wit">SOmwhere</a>
and for some reason it still print out nc_/new.pl?Action=wit if $a==1
Any ideas?
