#34 Print/Print Preview bug on XP

[Jim Longino]

I realize that XP HE is not included as a supported
platform. I have used Open Perl IDE on 98/2K/XP
systems with few problems. I imagine that you'll
eventually include support for XP and this is a minor
problem.

Description: the following section of code:

print <<EOT;
<tr bgcolor='\#$bgcolor'>
<td><a HREF="/index.pl?node_id=$node"><font
color="\#$textcolor">$user</font></a></td>
<td>$xp</td>
<td><a
href="/index.pl?orderby=createtime%20DESC&usersearch=$user&node=Perl%20Monks%20User%20Search">$writeups</A></td>
<td>$group</td>
<td>$level</td>
</tr>
EOT

when viewed through Print Preview or on printed
hardcopy adds an equal in just one place:

href=="/index.pl? . . .

This happens using two different networked printers (hp
psc 750 and an hplj4p). The same text prints correctly
on the same two printers (but directly connected to a
Win98 SE box). Both Windows OSes are uptodate with
critical patches.

I have the latest version of Open Perl IDE (2002-05-30)
on both boxes.
