adam:

The error was an INTERNAL SERVER ERROR when I ran the cgi on my site.

However, you solved the problem -- it was a space before the ROW that 
caused the problem.

That space thing sure screws up the placement of the "pretty" code I 
like to write. Any way around that?

I like this:
	print <<ROW;
  	<TR>
	<TD>$variable_name</TD>
	<TD>$description</TD>
	</TR>
	ROW
	}

Instead of this:

	print <<ROW;
	<TR>
	<TD>$variable_name</TD>
	<TD>$description</TD>
	</TR>
ROW
	}

Thanks.
