hi all, Can someone help with a simple request. I am trying to create a simple html file from my perl script.
At the moment I am opening a file and writing to it using the PRINT command. But when I view the html file, it displays nothing even though the html is there in the source
example of code
open(OUTPUT, $outputFile); # Send content-type print "content-type: text/html \n\n"; # OUPTUT Header Section # print OUTPUT "<html>\n"; print OUTPUT "<head>\n"; print OUTPUT "<title>Created By Perl<\title>\n"; print OUTPUT "</head>\n"; # HTML Body # print OUTPUT "<body>\n";
thanks for your time. UPDATE:
thanks guys, sorry for not being more clear, bit hot yesterday in London (UK) and think my brain was melting at the end of the day !
I have got the html file working now, just need to do some cosmetic stuff to make it look pretty... thanks again
