CGI just returns the text, it does not print it, so you have to print that for yourself. You also will need to print the header.

If the end_html stuff is being printed, then I am guessing that whoever called the poorly named sectionOne function is printing what it returns, and end_html is what gets returned and therefore printed.

As a random note, with most ways of organizing code, you are better off using a templating system and not using CGI's html generation methods. This is not a hard and fast rule, but it is a good guideline. See Re (tilly) 6: Code Critique for some general advice on templating.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
