in reply to CGI and perlpod

Did you try putting an __END__ after the code and before the pod? This might help to determine whether the problem is with your code or the pod. However I think we would really need to see the code as has already been mentioned.

    Here's my perlpod, it's written after the code finishes.

    __END__

=head1 NAME

checkform.pl - it:
  + Processes data from a HTML form,
  + Queries or update a flat file text database 
  + Writes a summary of the transaction back to the web browser and
  + Logs the transaction details in a text file

=head1 USAGE

I've written few lines here

=head1 DATABASE STRUCTURE

I've written few lines here

=head1 Log File STRUCTURE

I've written few lines here

=cut

      Well that wouldn't cause the error you describe - you must have overwritten a closing '}' when you added the pod.

        I am pretty sure that i didn't overwrite anything.. pretty sure.. i would appreciate it in case you can try it on one of your codes! it's really annoying.. i can't find any documentation about it anywhere!

    I figured it out.
    You have to replace the __END__ with 1; (that's number 1 followed by a semicolon).

    Cheers, and tanx for the help
