You might be interested to look into CGI::HTML::Functions

Kind of Currying, but that's not necessarily implemented with AUTOLOAD.

You might be interested to look into CGI::HTML::Functions Good point! Quoting that doc: If you really want to continue using the HTML generation functionality of CGI.pm then you should take a look at HTML::Tiny instead, which may give you a migration path away from CGI.pm's html generation functions; i strongly encourage you to move towards template driven page generation for anything involving markup as it will make porting your app to other frameworks much easier in the long run. And CGI::Alternatives mentions, among several others, Template::Toolkit.	[reply]

Lee is not a fan of the module he volunteered to maintain. On a side note: The monastery's engine heavily relies on those HTML generation functions from CGI.pm! Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]
