In HTML all newlines and multiple spaces are treated as a single space for display purposes. Thus:
<p>This
will
look
like
this does below
This will look like this does below
The <PRE> tag means preformatted so
<PRE>
This
retains
the
newlines
</PRE>
This
retains
the
newlines
You badly need to learn some HTML. You also need to escape the HTML special characters < > "" &
sub escapeHTML {
my ( $escape, $text ) = @_;
return '' unless defined $escape ;
$escape =~ s/&/&/g;
$escape =~ s/"/"/g;
$escape =~ s/</</g;
$escape =~ s/>/>/g;
# these next optional escapes make text look the same when rendere
+d in HTML
# without wrapping in <pre> tags
if ( $text ) {
$escape =~ s/\t/ /g; # tabs to 4 sp
+aces
$escape =~ s/( {2,})/" " x length $1/eg; # whitespace e
+scapes
$escape =~ s/\n/<br>\n/g; # newlines to
+<br>
}
$escape =~ s/([^\000-\177])/'&#' . (sprintf "%3d", ord $1) . ';'/e
+g;
return $escape;
}
So you need to do something like
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<pre>\n";
for (@data) {
print escapeHTML($_);
}
print '</pre>';
sub escapeHTML { ..... }
