Hi been42

That is exactly what I am looking to do. I tried your start_html but it just returns a time stamp to the browser. Am I missing something more fundemental? I'm a bit of a CGI novie, but here is what I have so far:

optput:Mon Feb 19 21:34:25 2007 processremote.cgi: readline() on closed filehandle XMLFILE at /my/upload/path/processremote.cgi line 15.

#!/usr/bin/perl
          
use strict; 
use warnings; 
use CGI qw(:standard); 
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); 

print header; 
print start_html(-head=>meta({-http_equiv => 'Content-Type',
                              -content    => 'text/xml'}));

open(XMLFILE, "/my/upload/path/master.xml"); 

while (<XMLFILE>){ 
   print $_;
}

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
