Hi people,

I had a Perl script working perfectly using CGI.pm, sucking info in from a form then dynamically creating funky pages for the user.

I tried to update this by incorporating a dbm File but this renders all print statements after the dbmopen statement useless.

If I comment the dbmopen statement from my code it will ..

If I do not comment it out it will...

This I can't explain

here's the code...

#!/apps/PERL5/bin/perl
use CGI qw(:standard);

$cgi = new CGI;

print header;
print "\nOne\n";

print "Two\n";

dbmopen(%dbm_New_Eng, "/apps/servicelist/SLNamesDBMs/srv_name_new_to_r
+epresents", 0644) or die "Cannot open: $1\n\n";

print "Three\n"

Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated
