$ perl
use CGI qw/:standard -no_xhtml/;
print start_html(); (^D)
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
<html lang="en-US"><head><title>Untitled Document</title>

Unfortunately it outputs Transitional rather then Strict, and I'm not
aware of any way to override that.
I've always been unimpressed by the CGI.pm markup generation
facilities, I find that its easy to craft something of decent quality
by using Template-Toolkit (or HTML::Template, or etc. etc. etc.).
