Subject: RE: CGI perl html urgent
Hi,
Different? -- I think of it as a way when i need larger amounts of text or
html tags or larger amounts of whatever.
But perhaps all it is is part of Perl's characteristic of "there's more
than one way to do it" (tmtowtdi)
I think it's called a here doc
the << as you say
thus
print <<EOF;
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Learning Lesson 2</TITLE>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!-- BODY {
background-color : #F5F5F5;
font-family : Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif;
}
P {
background : #A9A9A9 none;
color : #2F4F4F;
font : 400 normal 110% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-decoration : none;
padding : 2% 2% 2% 2%;
}
HR {
color: #FFA07A;
height: 6pt;
} -->
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>
<!--R1C1--><p>$hello
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<!--R2C1--><hr>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<!--R3C1--><p>$x + $y = $sum
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</BODY>
</HTML>
