in thread Printing contents of file on a HTML page.

Thanks this did work for me except it prints out the file contents on one line in my HTML page:
wordOnewordTwowordThree Okay this prints out.
It should print out:
wordOne wordTwo wordThree Okay this prints out.
Here is what I used and it works but how can I make the output print the correct way? I have tried the "\n" and <br> in various places but no luck.
use strict; my $path = "/web/webpage.html"; my $myfile = "/perl/bin/bas.txt"; open FIL, "$myfile" || die "cant open: $!\n"; open OUT, ">$path" || die "Can't open $path for writing: $!\n"; while (<FIL>) { print OUT; } print OUT <<"EOF"; <html> <head> <title>Title</title> </head> <body> <br> Okay this prints out. </body> </html> EOF close OUT || die "Can't close filehandle: $!\n"; close FIL || die "no cant close: $!\n";
