Why don't you use startup.pl or C<Perl> sections to set the text, where you have a complete control over the string? Yet another solution would be to use this: PerlSetVar Foo "first line" PerlAddVar Foo "second line" PerlAddVar Foo "third line" .... Or you can use the hack suggested by Steven. _____________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide http://perl.apache.org/guide mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ticketmaster.com http://apacheweek.com http://singlesheaven.com http://perl.apache.org http://perlmonth.com/
