Why are you doing it this way? You do not need a sub and it is best  
to use $q (or the functional interface) since if anyone has to read  
your code they will recognize $q immediately but wonder what  
$new_page is for. And why are you printing two new lines? New lines  
do not show up in HTML.

Try this:

print $q->end_form();

That usually produces </form>
