I am claiming that for the past 2 plus years this has been a IE page that users have been able to click on (via a link) and it opens up an IE page that has the data formatted with all the HTML code AFTER the __END__ statement.

I am trying to determine why suddenly it will no longer display the data in an IE page, but only shows a blank white page.

I spent time online trying to determine what __END__ did, and became confused by what I learned. This is why I posted this question. I am not claiming anything, simply stating how it has worked. I am new to Perl and only have been working with it for a few months (only when the code 'breaks').

How was the formatting code executed??? I have no clue how it was done. I do know that the page was displayed with all the HTML formatting after the __END__ statment and now it is no longer displayed. The code above the __END__ runs fine through the Perl Debugger and also from Command Line, but of course it is not presented in a nice orderly formatted format!

Thank you anyway
