Hi Guys,

Sorry, im a bit of a noob, only been learning perl for about a fortnight, so please dont laugh to hard! Basically, Im tyring to write a program that goes off and checks rbl's and then writes the results to an HTML template....but it isnt working on one line!

the rest of it works in isolation. very frustrating 

*********************

use warnings;
use strict;
use Net::RBLClient;
use HTML::Processor;

my @servers = ('213.123.20.134','213.123.20.119','213.123.20.120','213
+.123.20.121','213.123.20.122','213.123.20.123',
'213.123.20.124','213.123.20.125','213.123.20.126','213.123.20.127','2
+13.123.20.128','213.123.20.129',
'213.123.20.130','213.123.20.131','213.123.20.132');



my %rbl_list = ();
foreach my $ip (@servers){
        chomp $ip;
    $ip =~ s/"//i;
        my $rbl = Net::RBLClient->new;
        $rbl->lookup($ip);
        my @listed_by = $rbl->listed_by;

$rbl_list{$ip} = \@listed_by;
}


foreach my $server(values %rbl_list)
{
    $server =~ s//Nothing/gi
}

my $output = '/root/Documents/animals_output.html';
open(FH1, ">$output");

my $tpl = new HTML::Processor;

my $rbl_watch = $tpl->new_loop("blacklists");    

foreach my $omr( keys %rbl_list)
{
$rbl_watch->array("server_ip", $omr);


my $blackholes = $tpl->new_loop("listings", $omr);    
                            
foreach my $type ( @{$rbl_list{$omr}{blackholes} })
    {    
                 $blackholes->array ("positive_listings", $type);v
    }
}

        $tpl->variable("what", "Server Status");

        print $tpl->process("/root/Documents/animals.html");
close (FH1);
