I've happily got the basics of mod-perl, DBI, and CGI.pm down...

Now I'd like to make some nice looking webpages, not just the uglies that I am currently auto-generating with CGI.pm.

How can I do this? CGI.pm allows me to do so much programatically: populate pop-up boxes based on database lookups, decide whether or not to print certain elements of the page based on database lookups...

Can I still do these wonderful things and yet have it come out slick looking? Thanks for any advice!

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.

Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
