sub routine - cgi Undefined subroutine

atnonis has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi everyone.
I have the folowing sub

sub display_error {
my $html_title = $_[0];
my $error = $_[1];
print $cgi->start_html(-title=>"Error: $html_title").
      $cgi->h3($error).
      $cgi-end_html();
}
[download]

and this one:

display_error("User already exists","Sorry, user $add_user already exi
+sts, founded line $found.");
[download]

when this is requested i get the following error:

Software error:
Undefined subroutine &main::end_html called at C:/Program Files/Apache
+ Group/Apache2/htdocs/login.pl line 231.
[download]

i can't figure out what the problem is.

Antonis

Your missing the '>' sign in your end_html() call. `$cgi->end_html();` [download] Wonko :-)	[reply] [d/l]

`$cgi->end_html()` Note the ">" above which you just missed.	[reply] [d/l]
