in reply to Passing parameters

I'm not sure what you mean by "passing values to the header," but I ran your code and got "john De Costa" everywhere. The only potential problem I can see is that your href string presents name-value pairs for all but the last case, where you just give & plus the name. If the "open_log_viewer" script is looking for a name-value pair there, you're going to have trouble. Is that the "header" you're talking about?

Update: What they said. :) I was so focused on the printing thing that I forgot the HTML I learned on my mother's knee. HTML attributes should be quoted and spaces escaped in URLs.

HTH,

    Obs: I will be working on my punctuation skills, but till than I need to focus on this problem. And I don't know how you are getting the intire string back, I can only get the entire string if I add %20 between the spaces, other than that I can only get the first name. Here is some more of the code for you to see it. 
    foreach $element( sort keys %count) {
   my $a_total= sprintf "%.2f", ($count{$element}/$total_count)*100;##
+################$ELEMENT###################################
print "<td bgcolor=#e0e0e0><a href=open_log_viewer.pl?=$getdata=$getda
+ta2=&transaction=dusage_by_unit&$element><font color=#000000 size=\"2
+\"><b>$element</b></font></A></td><td><font color=#000000 size=\"2\">
+<b>T. Number of Visits&nbsp;&nbsp;</b>=</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;<font color
+=red size=\"2\"><b>$count{$element}</b></font>\n";
print "</td>\n"; 
print "<td bgcolor=#e0e0e0 align=\"center\"><font color=navy size=\"2\
+"><b>$a_total%</b></font></td></tr>\n";
}
