[Cgi-wml] newbie question

[Craig T. <ct...@qu...>]

Hi, I'm trying to get the compressed size of my data, using the example
from the man page for CGI::WML but I can't figure out how to set the
$buffer, to get a valid size:

	my $wml_buffer;
        my $buffer;

        print
        $wml_cgi->header(),
        $wml_cgi->start_wml(),
        $wml_cgi->card(-id=>"first_card",
              -title=>"Press Release",
              -content=>$content),
        $wml_cgi->end_wml();

        print
        $wml_cgi->wml_to_wmlc(-wml=>$wml_buffer,
                        -errorcontext=>2);

        my ($page_title,$content) = $wml_cgi->html_to_wml($buffer);

        my $size = length ($wml_cgi->wml_to_wmlc(-wml=>$buffer,
-errorcontext=>0));

        print STDERR "\nsize of compressed record: $size\n";


It seems like the $buffer and $wml_buffer are being used before they are
set with a value. 

Thanks,

Craig
