Doesn't work by the way when I run the following code

#!c:/xampp/perl/bin/perl.exe
use warnings;
use CGI;
use Time::HiRes qw(gettimeofday);
my $query = CGI->new;
my $dir = "C:/Users/41786/OneDrive/Documents/recordz1/";
print $query->header; 

test();
 
sub test {
    my $counter = 10000; #Should be ge from db;
    my $string = "";

    open (FILE, "<$dir/test2.html") or die "cannot open file $dir/test
+2.html";
    my $content = "";
    my  $nb_page = round ($counter / 40, 1);#Number of objects display
+ed per page.
    for (my  $i = '0'; $i < $nb_page+ 1;$i++) {
        my $n2 = $i %= 10;
        $min_index += 40;    
        $string .= "<a href=\"/cgi-bin/recordz.cgi?lang=FR&amp;session
+=1&page=historique&amp;article=1amp;min_index=$min_index&amp;max_inde
+x=40\" ><-$n2-></a>&#160;&nbsp;";        
        $nb_page--;
    }
    while (<FILE>) {    
        s/\$ARTICLE{'index'}/$string/g;
        $content .= $_;    
    }
    print $content;
    close (FILE);
}

sub round {
    my $n = shift || '';
    my $r = sprintf("%.0f", $n);    
    return $r;
}

The result I'm getting in my web page is the following : <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5-> <-6-> <-7-> <-8-> <-9-> <-0-> <-1-> <-2-> <-3-> <-4-> <-5->

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.

Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.

Please read these before you post! —

• How do I compose an effective node title?
• How do I post a question effectively?
• Markup in the Monastery

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:

a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr

You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)

	For:		Use:
	&		&
	<		&lt;
	>		&gt;
	[		&#91;
	]		&#93;
