I got this piece of code from here a while back. (I looked for the code again to give the author credit, but couldn't find it) I modified it to work in a browser (one line, big mod).

If I run this from a terminal window, everything works as it should, i.e.:

node 1

node 2

node 3

However, if I run it from within a browser, the nodes are displayed as follows:

node 1 node 2 node 3

I've looked at it and haven't been able to figure out the difference yet. Can someone please explain ? 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use LWP::Simple;
$/ = undef;
my $slurp = get("http://www.perlmonks.org/headlines.rdf");
push @node, [$1,$2]
while $slurp =~ /<item>\s*<title\s*>([^<]*)<\/title>\s*<link\s*>([^< +
+]*)/gio;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print map { "<a href=\"$_->[1]\">$_->[0]</a>\n" } @node;

Thanks !
