Help With '~' Character
This is probably a stupid question, but I'm having trouble adding my counter to my pages through site_html.pl. I know nothing about perl, but I'm pretty sure the problem is this:


$top qq~
<A HREF="http://www.websitereporter.com"><IMG SRC="http://209.15.2.13/~wr/gbadventure.com/wr.cgi" BORDER=0></a>
~;


The URL to the image contains a '~'... Is there any way to get around this, or should this not even be a problem and I should be looking for something else that's wrong?

If you escape it, then I think it should work. http://209.15.2.13/\~wr/gbadventure.com

OR you could use different operators, like the following:

Code:

$top .= qq|HTML CODES|;
