I'm trying to write a simple script that checks the Windows registry for the value of a certain key, then output it to a Web browser. The following looks fine when run from a command-line window:

#!C:\perl\bin\perl -w

my $Registry;
use Win32::TieRegistry (TiedRef=>\$Registry, Delimiter=>"/", ArrayValues=>1);
my $env = $Registry->{"CUser/Control Panel/Desktop/"};
my $wallpaper = $env->{"/Wallpaper"};
$foo = $wallpaper->[0];
#print ("< HTML>< HEAD>< /HEAD>< BODY>

", $foo, "

< /BODY>< /HTML>"); #end file

However, when I try running it through a Web browser, it chokes for some reason. Nothing gets sent to the browser, but I know it's not bad HTML since I verified it in the command-line window (the spaces in the above HTML code are there so PM doesn' t try to interpret it literally; they're not in the real script). Has anyone dealt with this problem before and know of a fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Dan
