japhy Enthusiast Jan 26, 2000, 3:27 PM Post #1 of 9 (2557 views) Re: 69_vette's post Can't Post At first glance, nothing is wrong. Make sure the file is chmodded correctly, etc. Try your code at the command-prompt, and you might find an error in your here-doc if you wrote it incorrectly. I've written documentation on here-docs, and I'll have one of them included in the docs for Perl 5.6. One is a technical definition of here-docs, and the other is text from an email I wrote regarding sample uses of here-docs. My Perl web site will have all the documentation and examples I refer to in this forum.

After reading your articles I first thought the problem was because the closing identifier was at the end of the script... But I put something after that at it still didn't work... I don't know what else could be wrong...

And no, I didn't run it at the command-prompt because I don't know how... Of course, you mean telnet, right? Well I guess my copy of telnet is screwed up or I'm going about it COMPLETELY wrong because I can't get it to do anything...

If I change my the text/html part of my content type header to text-html IT WORKS!!! The only reason I tried that was because Japhy's "sample uses" page used - once instead of / ..... Is there a difference between using the two or is it just another way? [This message has been edited by 69_vette (edited 01-27-2000).]

I changed it back to text/html and, of course, it stopped the browser from trying to download. Also, it script started working now. I don't get it. It's EXACTLY the way I had it before and it just decides it's going to work now? I must have had some little typo somewhere... Oh well, thanks for your help!

Cure User Feb 1, 2000, 2:34 PM Post #9 of 9 (2557 views) Re: Re: 69_vette's post [In reply to] Can't Post The reason why your getting the error is because theres a bug in activeperl for here-docs.. Dont worry 69_vette your not loosing your mind--> when you said you didnt change the code but for some reason it works now, well the same thing happen to me.. I paste your code in my editplus program and tried to perl it , I keep getting errors and After I perl the code 16 times then for some reason it started working. I've had problems with the here-docs for active-perl for the last 6 months that why I used the qq~ operator.. So when I saw your problem; I wus determined to figure out a solution for here-docs because Ive had the same problem for a while. So I tried everything to perl your code and I got the same errors and i tried using here-docs with my code. Sometimes when I perl the code it works and most of the time it didnt work and I didnt change the code--> So I concluded that there is a BUG in ActivePerl I took my code using here-docs that wouldnt perl on my system and icq it to borderline->(he has unix(real perl)) and he said it Perl just fine.. So conclusion-> ActivePerl has a bug for here-docs. So use the qq~ operator to fix your problem you can still use the here-docs in activeperl but you have to use it in a process.. print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print_header(); sub print_header { print <<THIS; <html> <title> hello </title> <body> hello </body> </html> THIS } My advice would be to use the qq~ operator(it will always work for you example:: #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print qq~ <html> <title> hello </title> <body> hello </body> </html> ~; [This message has been edited by Cure (edited 02-01-2000).] [This message has been edited by Cure (edited 02-01-2000).]
