creating cgi scripts with a cgi script - \ and other characters Can't Post
ok..... I have a cgi cript that is creating another cgi script with the OUTFILE command. I know I need to put a '\' in front of $ and @ to make sure they make it to this new cgi program, however, how do I get '\n' to output to a file? it is just making newlines instead... I tried '\\n' but that didn't work... I need it so it can output to html pages (Content-type: text/html\n\n)

thanks for the help

\\n does work.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans serif">code:</font><HR>


print qq(print "Content-type: text/html\\n\\n"; );
# or use single quotes
print 'print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";';
# or use a here-doc
print << 'RAW PERL CODE';
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
RAW PERL CODE
</pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I'm not positive but try this,

$content-type = qq~Content-type: text/html\n\n~;

and while the outfile pipe to the program is open

print outfile "$content-type";

I'm not positive about this but you might as well give it a try.

Good Luck!
