in reply to CGI aligning

Your script is printing <br> because you explicitly told it to with these two lines:

$tags =~ s/</&lt;/;
$tags =~ s/>/&gt;/;

And then, right after that you tried to remove the breaks, but s/<br>// isn't going to match anything, because you just removed all the < and > characters from your string.

We're not surrounded, we're in a target-rich environment!

    Yup, that was the problem. I should have taken out the substitutions but I forgot about it (I was originally using <'s and >'s so I actually had to substitute them). Why would the error only occur on the first line though? The same subsitutions were performed for all the parameters but only one <br> was printing and only the first two tags were on the same line.

    Thanks!
