Try changing
$title = $query->param("Title");
to
$title = $query->param('Title');
and do the same thing for the owner param
Also, if you have an if statement that only executes one line of code
when the statement evaluates true, you can do this:
$Meta = "<META NAME=\"AUTHOR\" CONTENT=\"$title\">\n" if ($title ne "");
IMHO, this is much "cleaner", just thought I would throw that in there.

Subject: Newbie problems with > in a string
I am using the code below in part of a subroutine. It displays ok later
in
the routine within a <TEXTAREA> block.
But when I try to use $Meta elsewhere the string appears to be empty.
Further investigation shows the string is ok until it gets to the >
in the string. The string looks like this and does in the TEXTAREA
block<META NAME=\"AUTHOR\" CONTENT=\"AAA\"> which is correct.
I have tried printing the string a bit at a time it is ok until it gets
to
the >. The string then appears to be empty. What am I missing?
Regards
Albert
$title = $query->param("Title");
if ($title ne "") {$Meta = "<META NAME=\"AUTHOR\"
CONTENT=\"$title\">\n"} ;
$Owner = $query->param("Owner");
if ($Author ne "") {$Meta .= "<META NAME=\"AUTHOR\"
CONTENT=\"$Owner\">\n"}
;
