've a perl script which displays a table with hyperlinks on a browser. When i use, 
< a href="http://www.xyz.com">7231-R</a>

[download]
I'm able to get the hyperlink-ed "7231-R" text displayed on the browser and thereby when i click on 7213-R it takes me to the desired page. But for the other link in the table on webpage, i'm using if else condition in the perl script and assigning hyperlink to a variable as below: 
if($astatus eq "PASS" && $kstatus eq "PASS"){
          $value = "< a href=\"http://www.xyz.com\">7231-R</a>";}
elsif($astatus eq "FAIL" || $kstatus eq "FAIL"){
          $value = "NA";}

[download]
Now, i'm displaying $value in the other column of the table. Here, i should also be getting a 7231-R with hyperlink if the if condition is true, but i'm only getting the text 7231-R without the hyperlink. What could be the problem? Kindly help. Thanks in advance, Sharath
