in reply to Re^2: Supressing page breaks in forms
in thread Supressing page breaks in format/write output

$- is the number of lines left to print for the default file handle. Does resetting it change anything? $=, on the other hand, is the current page length for the default file handle. You could try setting $= to something absolutely massive (5000?) depending on the data. You would need to know and understand the data to come up with a suitable value. Have tried setting it to undef? Just a (dangerous) thought.

    I tried setting $= = 5000 before each write withn the loop. It didn't seem to have any effect as I still get the page breaks.

    When I tried undefing it I got an error about unitialized value $= in scalara assignment.
