html code in .pl file

[jasnjohn]

I just added a Guestbook from htmlgoodies perl tutorials, and the perl script that delivers the mail also prints a "thank you" message after the mail has been sent.

Is there any way to include in the "html" portion of the .pl script a link to another page?
Otherwise the user is left there in the middle of a perl script with no where to go. I'd like to give them the ability to move out back to the home page for example.

eg
print "<a href=......

I can see the inherant problem using the above as the href needs to be in "" which would close the text string.

Any other way of doing it?

Thanks,
John

A couple ways. First, you can add a backslash before quotes in your HTML to tell Perl that the character should be treated literally rather than an operator.print "<a href=\"page.html\">";Or you can take advantage of the fact that Perl allows you to choose your quoting character with the q{} and qq{} constructs.print q[<a href="page.html">];See http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/perlop.html#Quote-and-Quote-like-Operators for more details.
