in thread @forminputs annoying error

Beleive me when I say that it probably makes sense. 99% of the times that I catch myself saying things like "Stupid machine, its not supposed to!", I'll be biting my tongue later on with a big Homer Simpson "DOH!". Perl isn't tricky, its just flexible. Once you get past that stage then you'll be laughing at your own mistakes and making a habit of runnin -c.

In the meanwhile... Each person has his/her own method of defining HTML, but I like doing the following:
my $variables = '1 2 3';
my @arrays = (4, 5, 6);
my $html = qq{
<html>
<head>
<!-- your head stuff -->
</head>
<body etc, et al>
More stuff with <font face="Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif">$variables and
+ @arrays</font>
and things of the sort.
</body>
</html>
};

print $html;

I rarely use { or } characters in my HTML, and even if I do, they are usually in Javascript or CSS which get imported as .js or .css files, so I never have to worry about literalizing(?) any special characters. I hope that helps as a future suggestion.
