| $buffer .= " </HEAD>";
| $buffer .= " <BODY BGCOLOR=\"black\" TEXT=\"white\">";
| $buffer .= " <H1> ";
| $buffer .= " Test page ";
| $buffer .= " </H1>";
| $buffer .= " <A HREF=\"foo.html\">foo</A>";
| $buffer .= " <HR>";
| $buffer .= " </BODY>";
| $buffer .= "</HTML>";
| print $fh $buffer;
| }

What the other programmer here and I do is setup an array and push()
our lines of output onto it throughout all our code, and print it at
the very end. I'd be interested in seeing benchmarks of this vs.
the other methods. I'll try to find the time to run them.
