outputting data into html using CGI

[dulux]

Hi all,

I am writing a CGI script that outputs some HTML. This is quite easy for me, apart from the following...

Before I output the HTML, I call a function and pass its results to an array - @array=function();

I would like to print the contents of this array in the HTML page, but either end up printing hexadecimal values or the code itself.

I thought something like 'print @array[1]' would be appropriate, but it isn't.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi

Try "print $array[1]" instead (ie using $ not @ in the print line)

Also remember that PERL arrays are "zero based" (First index is 0).

Good luck!

Thanks for the quick reply.

The thing is still not working, however. I kind of know how to print from an array under a text based environment, but I cannot print the contents of this array under HTML. This may actually be more of a HTML question than a perl one, but I am sure someone here must have done this before...

Your continued help is always appreciated.

I've managed to sort it out.

I have discovered a module called Mason.

This module enables perl to be included within HTML and then output the results as accordingly. The perl is encased within the HTML using <%perl> at each end. Any perl code can be included.

Thanks for the help anyway...
