Get rid of the "\r"s. Dont try to do too many things at once.
Just print the header fist, on one line. That is one job.
Then bear in mind that CGI is used to provide content for Web browsers, which use html
as their formatting language. The Hello World that you used was a console version.
View Source on a web page, and you will see the formatting tags used in that medium.
Let's construct the CGI version for viewing on the Web.
The simple text line will show up on a browser, if the Content-type has been set and
followed by an empty line. Still it is better to add at least a title:
print <<END_HEADER
Content-type: text/html
<html>
<head>
<title> Fransesco del Vechio's First CGI Page </title>
</head>
END_HEADER
And to indicate to the browser how you want your single line to appear:
as a paragraph of simple proportional text:
print <<END_BODY
<body>
<p> Hello, World! </p>
</body>
</html>
END_BODY
as a large headlineline:
print <<END_BODY
<body>
<h1> Hello, World! </h1>
</body>
</html>
END_BODY
as a smaller headlineline:
print <<END_BODY
<body>
<h3> Hello, World! </h3>
</body>
</html>
END_BODY
As a carefully spaced block of text to be printed as spaced [HTML ignores all white
space in the source by default]:
as a large headlineline:
print <<END_BODY
<body>
<pre>
Hello,
World!
</pre>
</body>
</html>
END_BODY
Or use the CGI module to generate you html.
