What do you mean? CGI.pm seems to have a function for generating just about every HTML that ever did, does, or will exist. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "Perl/CGI webpage"... > I have heard writing HTML-code in *.cgi-scripts is considered a no-no, is > there any validity to this? No, it's not. Some people think it's prettier to use CGI.pm, others (like me) prefer total control of their HTML output and just use here-docs. In my opinion (I'm not claiming it to be right, it's just my personal opinion), CGI.pm is good for parsing input and generating complex forms based on prior user input, but not much else. It's more effort than it's worth to use CGI.pm for everything. hth, -- Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
