Perl/CGI really doesn't seem to like this way of doing META tags. I've
trimmed the irrelevant stuff, am the core of what I'm trying is the
following:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use POSIX;
use CGI;
$q = new CGI;
print $q->header,
$q->start_html(-title=>'New page',
-head=>meta({-http_equiv => 'Content-Type',
-content => 'text/html'}));
print <<EOT;
This is the generated HTML.
</body>
</html>
EOT
In my browser (netscape) I get a "500 Internal Server error", or run from
a shell I get:
Undefined subroutine &main::meta called at test.pl line 7.
Any ideas? Thanks.
