roBofh, i have a current version of perl installed, but i am using perlbuilder which seems to be kind of buggy. maybe the problem is in perlbuilder. ill try running it from a prompt when i get home

well, the page does use an external style sheet, however these are styles local, specific to the page being generated and not included in the external style sheet.

return <<END_STYLE; #produces identical results

i havnt tried
print <<END_STYLE;
but i assume it will give me the same results.

this is not actually the entire subroutine, just a piece of it i wrote for the purpose of debugging this thing. granted there are many other ways to achieve what i want to do but this is the easiest way.

try using

code:

$style = qq|
STYLE HERE
|;
[/code]

I copied and pasted your stuff on to one of my machines, and it worked fine. Perhaps you are doing some other manipulation to the return value of STYLE somewhere? BTW, what version of perl are you using? Me, I've got version 5.005_03 built for i686-linux-thread.

Just a suggestion, but perhaps the semi-colon after the quotes is causing some issues?

Quick question, too -- why are you adding the CSS in the Perl? Would it not be easier (especially for such a great length) to have it as an included file instead? Or even use a global style sheet and call to that?

I am tremendously curious, please let me know!

sorry, that's over my head. clearly, i've still got lots to learn about perl.
