Problems with PERL (now that's new!)
Hello again.
How does TWF format their postings so that they maintain the <br> and <p> when the user presses enter.
Also I am adding a string of information to a hidden field. But the page formats the text in the hidden field when the user presses enter. I think if I could find a correct way to format the postings then I would be fine.

Judging by how long this post has gone without a reply I will attempt to make my dilemma clearer. Here goes...
Ok, I have a script. It lets me add stuff to my websites. I have it run through a test script that prints it out as it would appear. The script is supposed to also put the information within a hidden input tag. The problem is when the browser shows the contents of the hidden input tag, whereever I press enter it inserts a /n = newline. I know I could avoid the problem by not pressing enter but I also want other people to be able to use the script.
How do I keep it from adding a newline when the user presses enter. Or can I possibly format it so that when the user presses enter it inserts a <br> instead of a /n.
Doubt that is possible but hey the easier the better.
Hope that I made my problem more clear.

You could use the s/// regular expression to search for any new lines (\n) and switch them to <br>'s.
$html =~ s/\n/<br>/g;
