CGI not starting with new page after POST

[skosterow]

if ($action eq 'None')
{
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
$form01 = new CGI;

print @header_html;
print <<EOFHTML;

<form action=&quot;$script_dir&quot;&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;>
action: $action
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;action&quot; value=&quot;Start&quot;>
</form>
action: $action
EOFHTML
print @footer_html;
$action = $form01->param('action');
print $action;

if ($action eq 'Start')
{

print @header_html;
print <<EOFHTML;

action: $action

EOFHTML
print @footer_html;
}


} else {
print &quot;<br>--------------------<br>&quot;;
print &quot;action: $action&quot;;
}

the script prints the nested IF statement on the same HTML page after the user gets the data. HELP!

Not enough code provided to diagnose. Please post the entire program if not much longer than the above sample.

When you say &quot;the script prints the nested IF statement on the same HTML page after the user gets the data.&quot; do you mean that the user sees the CODE (implies problem with here document or quoting)? Or that the script inside the nested IF is executing? (implies param('action') is Start)?

It compiles and works OK for me - although the phrase &quot;works OK&quot; is hard to define as I'm not sure what you're trying to do.
