You're right of course. I realised that later.

But looked at another way, it's almost on its own list. It doesn't mix HTML and Perl at all. You get purity at the expense of no longer being able to see your HTML as HTML.

Mind you, somewhere recently, Merlyn posted (boasted) about his script which reversed the process and turned HTML into CGI.pm data structures.

Can anyone come up with that link? It's certainly an intriguing Third Way of approaching workflow -- get your designers to come up with HTML, slurp it into CGI.pm, then throw it away? Given valid code it's not unreasonable... Hmmm...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
