Hi slurch901,
Instead of putting the conditional inside the div(...) call, put it immediately afterwards (and start a separate print for the final $cgi->end_html()):
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI;
use CGI ":standard";
use CGI::Carp qw{ fatalsToBrowser };
$index = 0;
$cgi = new CGI;
print $cgi->header(),
$cgi->start_html(),
$cgi->div({-id=>pagewrap});
if($index==0) {
print $cgi->p("Hello"),
}
print $cgi->end_html();
Notice that the code above has the very useful:
use CGI::Carp qw{ fatalsToBrowser };
This will cause many errors to display in the webpage itself, which is how I was able to see the error in my browser:
syntax error at /var/www/html/index.cgi line 10, near "if"
Execution of /var/www/html/index.cgi aborted due to compilation errors
+.
say
substr+lc crypt(qw $i3 SI$),4,5

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).
