Perl only Prints on Terminal Window

Hi all...

I am making a CGI that runs this...

#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI;

.
.
.

while (my $hash_ref=$sth->fetchrow_hashref())
{
print"$hash_ref->{name} and $hash_ref->{age}n"
}

this worked perfectly on terminal window...

>PERL MYCGI.CGI

but when i tried trough HTTP, it only prints "and"...

WHY?

Thanks...

I'm not sure why it acts like that because I never reference my hashes like that, but I'd figure the '->' reference is being parsed by the browser as a tag error. Try:



or my favorite



Also if your working on a remote web server make sure you're connecting to the right data base. I'm sure you've already figured this out but I thought I might give it a guess anyway.

Later,
t

check your code for the CGI part. It may be that your variables are not being passed to the script properly or that you are not passing them back from the script to the browser properly. Also, I don't see a 'use CGI;' at the top of your script or any other code indicative of a CGI script. You may have to check that. Next time, you may want to include more code to get a more specific answer.

Hope this helps.
