OK, the code works at the command line, and the output is exactly what I want. But it still does not work when called from a browser. Here is the source I get from the browser
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252
+"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
