Bing! SCP is likely doing a binary transfer, so your \r's are ending
up in the file.

\r is special whitespace, generally not removed even when it says
"remove whitespace".

No, just edit your scripts in a more sensible environment.
Komodo works great, you just have to know how to use it. I have built
regexes with the Rx Toolkit that I never would have been able to make
without it. You can see how a regex is applied to data on the fly.
Anyway, to the OP, what Randal is explaining is your problem. You need to
clean up your file before you give it to Template::Toolkit.
I use the same environment, Komodo then SCP.
go to: View -> View EOL Markers (Ctrl+Shift+7) you can see the line endings
are [CR][LF]. Those [CR] characters are what is giving you trouble. Go to
Edit -> Replace, and choose "Regular Expressions" for the "Use" dropdown.
Put "\r" (without the quotes) in the "Find what" text box and leave the
"Replace with" text box empty. Then click "Replace All". You will see all of
those [CR]s dissappear. Now save and upload your file.
This is not a Komodo specific thing, as you would have the same problem if
you created your templates with notepad.
In Komodo, if you go to Edit -> Prefrences and then click on the "New Files"
category, you will see an option that says "Specify the EOL indicator for
newly created files". Select "\n" and Komodo will end your lines of text
with just a "\n" when you create a new file (the three options are "\n",
"\r\n", and "\r").
With your file transfer client, you can configure it to transfer the file in
ASCII mode which will strip the \r's out for you.
On the *nix server, you can run "perl -pi -e 's/\r//' filename.tt" to strip
the \r's out of the file.
You could also use an application framework like CGI::Prototype or
CGI::Application to build the http headers so you dont have to debug your
header generator later.
There are a lot of different ways you can solve the problem.

Hey Todd, thanks a million.
You hit it right on the button and now my problem is fixed!
Another way to remove those [CR] characters is via the Edit|Current File
Settings... and choose:
- Line endings UNIX (\n)
- [] Preserve existing line endings, unchecked.
Kind regards,
Kiffin
