I have a simple PERL script thats called using a HTML form.

All it does is takes a string then opens a file and writes XML content to it.

Here is a small code sample:

use DBI;
use HTML::Entities ();
use IO;
use XML::Writer;
use Date::Language;
use CGI;

my $query = new CGI;

print $query->header();

$atom_id = $query->param('atom_id');

my $lang = Date::Language->new('English');

# Set up DB parameters
my $dbh = DBI->connect ("DBI:mysql:database=sbsContacts;host=localhost
+", "root", "cobweb123", {RaiseError => 1, PrintError => 0});

# Outer loop - get all scheme IDs where flag is set

$sbs_query = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM sbs_contacts WHERE for_sbs =
+ 'Y' AND atom_id = ?");
$sbs_query->execute($atom_id);

# Create the file where all the contact XML will be printed
my $output = new IO::File(">$atom_id.xml");

#PROBLEM HERE!
my $writer = new XML::Writer(OUTPUT => $output, DATA_MODE => 'true', D
+ATA_INDENT => 2);

In the browser the code fails on the last line but its ok on command line. Can anyone help.
