Jason,
I don't see why you need to change what you do because you've moved to
Perl 5.6.. most of the things that you seem to be doing will work quite well on
either version...
CGI.pm can be used in either an object oriented manner (as you already
know, from your example), or as just plain function calls.. that hasn't changed
between versions of Perl..
Some more comments below.. if you really need to know what changed
between versions of Perl, the perldelta man page is your friend :o)

You should still be able to do this in Perl 5.6 ? I just tried it out myself...
I know for sure that heredocs work.. you might want to think about using them
in your existing code...a small example,
print<<EOF;
<html>
<head><title>Test page</title>
$body_code
</html>
EOF
That might be a bit neater than having a print that stretches across multiple
lines.. note that you don't need to enclose anything in double quotes, the
heredoc mechanism takes care of that for you...

You can also do this
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw/:standard/;
print start_html;
I just tried it out :o), although I prefer the object oriented method myself..
Have you been getting any errors that you can specifically mention when you
moved from 5_005 to 5.6 ?
Hope this helps,
Thimal
