If I may add my two cents on this subject. The \n and \t will only work
when used to write to a file. If your wanting html output then you would
need to use html code such as <br> for line break.
Just my two cents of input.

Peter: Thank you some more. My script is in
C:\temp\sambar60-1\cgi-bin\ It is called x.pl. Here it
is:[quote:d9555c8967]#!C:/Perl/bin/perl.exe -wT
print "backslash n won't work for newline or backslash t for tab!
\n";
print "Hello,World!\tHelloWorld!\nHello,World!";[/quote:d9555c8967]
In IE, http://localhost/cgi-bin/x.pl prints out one line only. The
'hash line' points to my installation in C:\Perl\ yesterday.
If I open a DOS window on my Windows98 machine, and cd to
C:\temp\sambar60-1\cgi-bin\ I can then do a DOS dir command and I
see that x.pl is present.
I then type x.pl>errors.txt and the DOS line says
Bad command or file name
if I type C:\temp\sambar60-1\cgi-bin\x.pl > errors.txt the same
thing happens. Somebody told me to try ./x.pl or
/x.pl>errors.txt but the same thing comes back: Bad command or
file name. This script works from the browser, albeit without \n
etc. I'm in way over my head, I think.
My friend says she had a lot of problems like this in windows and I
should find a UNIX server to use. Or Linux.
