Print misbehaving????

[webamoeba]

Hi,

I'm having some problems with the print function in perl when running through Apache.

The following works:

print qq[
test];

the following do not work:

print qq[test];
print "test";
print 'test';

But all of them work when running from the bash i.e. Perl someFile.pl
what the????? does any1 know why???

Thanks.

nothing wrong with the print functions you posted, lets see the script you are using that is having problems.

Your going to be throughly disappointed by this lol

#!/usr/bin/perl5.8.3

print q[
test];

or

#!/usr/bin/perl5.8.3

print q[test];

or

#!/usr/bin/perl5.8.3

print "test";

#!/usr/bin/perl5.8.3

print 'test';

are you running this through a web browser?

#!/usr/bin/perl5.8.3
# make sure the above is the correct shebang line
 
#print an http header first
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

#now print anything else
print q[
test];

check the apache error logs to see what error your scripts generate.
