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.
