Does anyone know how I can turn $ to # in the cgi created html sections of this script.

Give this a try. First make a backup of the S-Mart.cgi and then edit it and do a find & replace for $\ and replace it with #\ ...... make sure you search for both characters together though because if you just search for $ without the \ then you will render the script inoperable.

I think that should do the trick.

If your careful search on $ $ and replace # $ the $ references are quite easy to spot.

Instead of searching for $\ search for \$. Most of it appear in the section that display the calculation results and item listing.

Almost every special character has a meaning in Perl (e.g. ~ $ & ^ %). The \ (backslash) used within the PRINT command is to "force" Perl to display special character. It is known as the escape character.

\$ displays dollar sign \% displays percent sign
