in reply to Problem converting HTML to PDF

I know nothing about HTML to PDF conversion, but what's with the quotes here: 

open ( FIN, "$html2ps http://mypage.com/index?param=x&foo=y' |" );

?

Plus, as any monk will tell you, you're not testing that open with an "or die"...

    what's with the quotes...

    Typo from copying the code over to my browser. Should be:  open ( FIN, "$html2ps 'http://mypage.com/index?param=x&foo=y' |" );

    you're not testing that open with an "or die"...

    You are right, I should do that. But, as I said in my original post, I know from debugging that I'm getting past this point correctly.

    Thanks.
