Hello Folks,

Why is it that the "\n"  and other escape characters in my Perl script are =
not being recognized in the IOExplorer browser?? I start the html code =
with the prescribed  .....print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";..... I'm =
running Win NT 4.0 and perl5 and IOExplorer 5.5.

By the way, after much pain and suffering, I discovered from this Q&A list =
that I had to include the ".pl=3Dapplication/x-http-perl" statement in the =
Mime section and "pl=3DC:\perlpath\perl.exe" in the Filter section of the =
Defaults.cfg file in order to get my NT 4.0 to execute the Perl5 script.=20=

Thanks for that.

Regards to all!
