<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title><TMPL_VAR NAME=TITLE></title>
<base target="_self">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="External.css">
</head>
<body>
....
</body>
You could go a step further and dynamically change your stylesheet by using a template variable for the sytlesheet filename.
For even more flexibility, use template toolkit instead of HTML::template. This would give you the ability to put variables in a stylesheet file, which would be processed before rendering to the browser:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>$Page.title</title>
<base target="_self"/>
<style type="text/css">
<!-- @import 'path/to/css/main.css';
[% PROCESS "path/to/css/theme.css" %]
body { font-size: ${font_size}pt; }
p { font-size: ${font_size}pt; }
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
....
</body>
</html>
In the above example, the main stylesheet is imported, a stylesheet with variables (theme.css) is included, and then additional styles are explicitly added to override those in the first two stylesheets.
A drawback with this method is that the styles from theme.css show up when a user looks at the page source, because those styles get embedded in the html document.
