Hi..

I have an intersting little problem. I have some code that checks the spelling of a line using the Ispell program. I have a print statement at the top of my program that simply prints out "Content-type: text/html\n\nbeginning". Here's the code that spell checks: for my $r ( Lingua::Ispell::spellcheck($spellline) ) { ... }
This sends a line to the spell checking program and returns mispelled words etc.. When I exact this program from a command prompt everything works fine. I get the output "Content-type:text/html\n\nbeginning.." and then my misspelled words.
However, when I access the script through a web browser it prints out the lines below:

Content-type:text/html\n\n beginning.
any mispelled words
Content-type:text/html\n\n beginning.
any mispelled words.

Somehow it executes twice! When I call that Lingua::Ispell::spellcheck function somehow my program gets tossed to the first line and runs through itself again. Why would running the script through a web browser produce this behavoir?
Thanks,
Tom
