note Enlil It should work fine as written provided that ENDHEADER is at the very start of a line and nothing else follows it (though I can't tell for sure as you should put &lt;code> tags around your code so we can also see your code formatting which is important in this case). As per [doc://perldoc|perlop]: <p><i>The terminating string must appear by itself (unquoted and with no surrounding whitespace) on the terminating line.</i><p>HTH<p>-enlil 392063 392063
