I have been running perl on Win for almost ten years, and have learned a little about it (not a programmer mind you, but can usually get around the periodic problem script). I would be happy to take a look at the script and try it out on my various setups (one is NT, the other Win98, and am about to migrate to XP). Let me know if this would help.

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.
