I am writing a program in Perl and ran into a problem maybe someone can help me with.

I have a textarea feild in my perl program called file1a. When I try to store the info enterd it stores it like this ( all ran together)
This is a test. Thank You

Instead of like this,

This is a test.

Thank You

What is happening is all the blank lines are removed and all the text entered is run together in 1 big sentance. When I store the input.

I know that this has got to be simple but I am pulling my hair out.

Thanks for any help Given.

Well, the linebreaking should remain there.
But it's not stored with html's <BR>. Instead it's stored with an ASCII newline character '\n'. If you want to convert these to HTML just do something like this:

$foo =~ s/\n/<BR>/g;
