Ok, apache's giving me a premature end of script error. I know I have to print content headers before anything else, but I need to write to a file before I can display my page. Obviously, printing content headers Before my file i/o results in nothing getting displayed. Here's some code:
    open(FH,">$data");
    print FH "redrush\n";
    close(FH);
#the script is dependent on the contents of $data
#I HAVE to do it this way, i can't just pass a string for reasons that
+ are unrelated to my question.
        some_command($data);
    &show_html;
sub show_html {
    print header;
    #static html
}

how to I write to file and then print content headers ??? is there some fwrite() function or something that could accomplish the same task without having to call print? please help.
thx,andy
