G'day diamondsandperls,

print does not add newlines for you; perhaps you were thinking of say. The two print statements you have (to output content) contain no newlines.

If you wanted HTML like

whois server: $whois_server<br>
<pre>
$dominfo
</pre>
[download]

you'll need to code newlines (\n) in your print statements to achieve this.

Please show some example data to clarify what you are getting and what you actually want.
