Variables not printing on web page...

[MissouriTiger]

I haven't written any Perl code in over 2 years. I know I must be doing something wrong syntactically here. The following code when displayed in a web browser doesn't display the vaqlues of the variabvles, but displays the variable names themselves. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Note: I also tried it with "print << 'STOP_PRINTING';" which didn't work either.

THE CODE:

print "<tr width='100\%' align=center BORDER=0
BGCOLOR=$bgcolor>\n";
print " <td width='60\%' align=left>\n";
print " <font face='arial, helvetica'size='3'
color='330099'>\n";
print " <b>$nextFirstName $nextLastName</b></font>\n";
print " </td>\n";

The program looks good to me.

Did you try running the program from the command prompt/shell before trying it in the browser.

if you use perl to print the code the variables should not be displayed as they are inside of double-quoted strings. The problem is elsewhere.
