Which version of CGI.pm do you have? With the latest version (2.89), I get this: `$ perl -MCGI=:standard -le 'print header, start_html' Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-U +S"><head><title>Untitled Document</title> </head><body>` [download] which looks right to me. The list of changes includes this: Version 2.81 Removed extraneous slash from end of stylesheet tags generated by start_html in non-XHTML mode. Changed behavior of CGI::Carp with respect to eval{} contexts so that output behaves properly in mod_perl environments. Fixed default DTD so that it validates with W3C validator. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply] [d/l]

Greetings Monks, While this thread is a bit dated, I'm trying to figure out how I might choose which version of XHTML get's produced. I've read (and searched), and experimented for quite some time. But haven't found the magic. As it is, I'm provided with Transitional. I have no reason not to choose Strict, except I don't know how. <sheepish grin> For the record: `$CGI::VERSION='3.48';` Thank you for all your time and consideration. EDIT: OK, I did a little more digging in my copy of CGI.pm, and found my own answer. Seems version 3.48 simply commented out `XHTML Basic 1.0`, and pasted in `XHTML 1.0 Transitional`, but that's it - as far as the "upgrade" goes. Solution: I simply commented `XHTML 1.0 Transitional`, and pasted my own upgrade in. :) Maybe v.3.49 will provide a "Strict" option. Till then, I'll live with my HACK. -- use qw(:perl:always); use qw(:perlmonks:daily);	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It's realy old post, but I foun it now. "XHTML Strict" and "XHTML Transitional" DO NOT mean the same.	[reply]

there's nothing stopping you from installing modules yourself. you just can't put them in the main library. `tar zxvf SomeModule.tar.gz cd SomeModule perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/some/directory/you/can/write/to make make install` [download] and then, in your code: `use lib qw(/some/directory/you/can/write/to); use Some::Module;` [download] anyway, having HTML::Template or Template::Toolkit installed are probably well worth whatever paperwork you have to go through. anders pearson	[reply] [d/l] [select]

If it really bothers you, you can always modify CGI.pm's source code. :)	[reply]
