[MacPerl] Printing plain text to browser problem



Hi,

I have a cgi script that attempts to print some plain text to the users
browser using the text/plain Content-type http header.

I'm running into a very weird problem, which is, some of the data that
should be displayed is not even though it IS in the document source (when
the document source is viewed). Obviously, the problem is browser related.
It happens with Netscape 3.01 and Communicator as well as IE 3x. Since it's
a plain text document that is being generated I have not included any HTML
tags in the results.

Is there a limit to the number of characters that can be on one line in a
plain text file when viewed via a browser? Has anyone else run into or
defeated this problem?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

John
