in thread Loading $_ as checkbox value when $_ has double quotes in its value

ar0n,
Won't doing it that way screw the HTML? I mean it escapes the quotes around the font face for instance, no? Jeez it is too late for rational thought, I'll try it in the morning. Thx!

    In that case don't make $_ do double-duty. Instead, try 

    my $dequoted = $_;
$dequoted =~ s/"/"/g;

print qq|<input type="checkbox" name="box$post_number" value="$dequote
+d">|;

      Don't quote your output at all print "stuff";

      Use a here document instead then you can put anything you fancy in it. 

       print <<HTML;
Delete This Post? \n
            <input type=checkbox name="box$post_number" value=" $_ "<p
+>
              $_<hr>\n<p>\n<br><br><br>\n|;
