in thread [Perl-CGI] Print non-interpolated string

I tried the escapeHTML function but Perl said that it couldn't find this one.

If you want to use the functional interface, either import the function, or use its fully qualified name (full name)

According to the version 3.65 manual escapeHTML is being executed automatically.

Well, you didn't understand what you read -- you're not using any of the form generators which would do this automatically

So my guess is that escapeHTML is a feature that was introduced in a later version.

Its been there for at least 20 years
