FW: A Bad Bad command that don't want to work!



My apologies for sending this to the list, but I am in need of expert advice. We are working on an online ordering program in Redhat Linux 5.1. and we are having some problems with a display command in Perl that used to work with Slackware and with Redhat 3.x and 4.x. I don't know how much more information I should provide, but I would appreciate any and all suggestions. The message is in the same format it was received from the developer. 

TIA,

Jason C. Harris

J,

The command in Perl is as follows:
$v = "2";
<input type=text name=\"nam\" value=$v size=2>;
In HTML this command would be:
$v = "2"
<input type=text name="nam" value=$v size=2>
This should produce a 2 character window with a 2 in it!
Neither one works in what I think is Perl5.
Thanks,
David
