Re: CGI.pm tag attributes and underscores

[trammell]

I found this in perldoc CGI:

  Many routines will do something useful with a named
  argument that it doesn't recognize.  For example, you
  can produce non-standard HTTP header fields by
  providing them as named arguments:

    print $q->header(-type  =>  'text/html',
                     -cost  =>  'Three smackers',
                     -annoyance_level => 'high',
                     -complaints_to   => 'bit bucket');

  This will produce the following nonstandard HTTP header:

    HTTP/1.0 200 OK
    Cost: Three smackers
    Annoyance-level: high
    Complaints-to: bit bucket
    Content-type: text/html

  Notice the way that underscores are translated
  automatically into hyphens.  HTML-generating routines
  perform a different type of translation.
