mailto tag in html generated with perl

[kevin12345]

Hi,
I have a few perl scripts that are generating html files. At the bottom
of the page I have links to contact the webmaster, however, when the
links are generated, they do not show the entire link.

Here is an example:

<a href="mailto[email protected]">Contact Webmaster</a>

When I open the html file, the link only wants to go to
"mailtoerson.time.com" with no "@place"

Can anybody help?

Thanks,
Kevin

Look at the HTML that's actually generated, since you neglected to show
any perl code, I will only assume that you need to escape the @ when
calling print.

If you add:

use strict;

to your code, it may show you the error of your ways.

You have an error on line 42 of your code.
