Re: Copy and past HTML into a perl script

RE: Copy and past HTML into a perl script
Your quotes may be mismatched. Meaning that you are enclosing the entire HTML source with double quotes and you have unescaped double quotes in your HTML source. That would confuse perl. For example: print img src=image.gif; # in this line image.gif is a bareword. You should do this: print 'img src=image.gif'; # this does not interpolate variables though. or print img src='image.igf'; # this does interpolate variables. or print HTML; # this does interpolate variables if you use double quotes. img src=image.gif HTML But if you're looking for a longer term solution. Here are my suggestions: 1. Use the Template Toolkit set of modules available at: http://search.cpan.org/search?module=Template 2. Use the HTML::Template module available at: http://search.cpan.org/search?module=HTML::Template 3. Put your HTML in a separate file, open it and the print the lines as you read them. If you do one of the above then you can modify your HTML source and not worry about screwing up your code. Plus it makes your code more readable.

RE: Copy and past HTML into a perl script
That's true, but if you have double quotes inside of single quotes, the double quotes will still interpolate. In other words, the enclosing single quotes will not block the mighty interpolative power of the enclosed double quotes.

Double quotes inside of single quotes are treated as text characters, not as Perl operators. The reverse is also true -- single quotes embedded inside of a string delimited with double quotes will still interpolate: my $query = SELECT * FROM host_table WHERE hostname ='$host' and domain = '$domain'; However, this does interpolate: my $string = 'Some text', $var with more text , 'more text'; -- Brett http://www.chapelperilous.net/btfwk/ A horse breeder has his young colts bottle-fed after they're three days old.
