Hi

When my perl script is called from a web page it creates a text file then outputs the results to the client's browser using

print <<'end_print_tag';
<html>
. . .
</html>

This works fine, but if you then refresh the results page you just get the raw HTML
<html>
. . .
</html>

Any pointers on how to stop this would be much appreciated.

Mike

Hi

Can you post the code you are using?

print <<'end_print_tag';
<html>
. . .
</html>

end_print_tag - have you put this bit in?

Hi

Yes. The problem seems to have improved with a few changes to the server and by adding no cache meta tags to the page. However it still seems scary that this can happen.

Regards Mike
