Coding Errors

[MagicChris]

Hello,
I'm in the process of replacing a sub in a script i know works...well worked before i replaced the sub.

I know all subs called to use from this one work so that's not the problem.

Here is my error log report:

[Mon Mar 11 13:30:39 2002] [error] [client 62.252.160.4] Premature end of script headers: /home/zigwebd/public_html/temp/cgi-bin/auction.pl

Not sure why it won't work,
Thanks in advance,

Chris,

if you insert a new line number 495 containing

my $lowest_new_bid;

the script will compile without errors

will it do what you want it to? <wry smile> don't know.... Mike

I never could get the hang
