I have the following lines in my code:
print $q->header("text/html\n\n"),
$q->start_html(-title=>"Data Report"),
"This is the report for~~<br>";
When I run the program, I keep getting "syntax error near 'print'". I have used the same format in other codes but this is the only one that gives this error. How can I solve this?
Update: I appreciate the sugggestions, however the problem still remains. The line above print defines a variable and ends with a semicolon. I changed $q so that it is now
my $q = CGI->new; Is there something wrong with my format?
Update2: Here is the exact error-> "Syntax error at /home/www/code.cgi line 92 near "print", referer: http://localhost/reports.html"
This is the code around print:
my $last_time = 0;
print $q->header("text/html\n\n"), #This is line 92
$q->start_html(-title=>"Data Report"),
"This is the report for~~<br>";
I'm baffled. This is the only code I'm having trouble with.
