Hmm. You know - maybe I'm out in left field here, but why not use a heredoc print instead of doing print after print?
If you're just doing dozens of prints one after the other - this is more convenient.
#quick sample of what I have a heredoc doing:
print FILEHANDLE << "END_DATA";
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TH COLSPAN="2">
<A HREF="stuff"><IMG SRC="an_image.gif" BORDER="0" ALT="Hi!"><
+/A>
</TH>
</TR>
<TR>
<TH COLSPAN="2">
$variables{whatever}
</FONT>
</TH>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD VALIGN="top">
</TD>
<TH ROWSPAN="2">
$details<br>
$moreDetails<br>
</FONT>
</TH>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>
$variables{evenMoreDetails}
</FONT>
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TH COLSPAN="2">
<FORM ACTION="../cgi-bin/some.cgi?somequery" METHOD="POST">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="item" VALUE="$variables{aVariab
+le}">
Some Text: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" VALUE=1 NAME="someText" SIZE
+="1">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit">
</A> </FORM>
</FONT>
</TH>
</TR>
</TABLE>
END_DATA
It's convenient for me - and millions of executions later, just as good the regular prints - but 10 times lazier.
