PRINT Statement and CGI error

[samesale]

Here is a partial program in CGI. However, the print statement gives an error.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI;
$query = new CGI;

# itemr100search - use item2.html

$guest_file= "item2.out";
$counti2=0;
$counti2++;
$d ="\$";

print "Items of More than $d 100 value\n";

There are other print statements in the program but they do not give me any error. please help.

If you are printing general stuff before you print a header, then your web server will give an error instead of your desired output.

Try:

#!perl
use CGI;
$query = new CGI;

# itemr100search - use item2.html

$guest_file= "item2.out";
$counti2=0;
$counti2++;
$d ="\$";

print $query->header;
print "Items of More than $d 100 value\n";

'hope this helps
