If I'm remembering correctly (and I could just be lost), you just had one \n

before and now you have two? I don't really know why it would need another

one, but if it works :)

Yeah, it shouldn't need url encoding. The code tells it the mime type

(text/plain). You can "write" html pages in perl on the fly that way too.

Pretty neat :)
