I am a noob at Perl, and I have a 'glitch' I just can not figure out. The code is for a mini site search, where we identify each file to be searched, one by one.

Here is a sample of some calling print statements...

   if (open(THE_FILE, $prestring . "WWM.txt")){print "<center><img bor
+der=0 src=/article_separator.png><br><B>WWM: Windmills and Wind Motor
+s. 1910.</B></center><br>";fn1();} else {print "<center><img border=0
+ src=/article_separator.png><br><b>Windmills and Wind Motors, 1910,</
+b> has no ATOCI.</b></center><br>"};
   if (open(THE_FILE, $prestring . "ycmi.htm")){print "<center><img bo
+rder=0 src=/article_separator.png><br><B>YCMI: You Can Make It. 1929-
+1931.</b></center><br>";fn1();} else {print "<center>YCMI file not fo
+und.</center><br>"};
   if (open(THE_FILE, $prestring . "youngs.htm")) {print "<center><img
+ border=0 src=/article_separator.png><br><B>YOUNGS: Youngs Demonstrat
+ive Translation of Scientific Secrets. 1861.</b></center><br>";fn1();
+} else {print "<center>Youngs.htm Missing.</center><br>"};

And the function they call:

sub fn1
 {
 while (<THE_FILE>)
   {
   $record = $_;
   $_ = uc($_);
   if (/$ucsearch/)
     {
     print "$record";
     $count++;
     }
   }
 close (THE_FILE);
 }

Now, about bingo 200, we lose the html from the calling print lines in the output, but not the text. Plus the process completes. It is not the server, as it does this both under Linux (web server) and XP XAMPP. It is not data slipping in and glitching, as the calling lines were rearranged, and still faulted around bingo 200. I think it is some setting, or buffer, but have no clue...

Live example can be seen at http://www.librum.us/1-card.htm

For a good run, use 'grape'. For a 200+ bingo type 'apple'.

Help?
