Hello Beloved Monks:
I researched this , and the only answer I find is to abandon CGI.pm for this particular tag, and to just "print" the anchor. Even on perldoc.org:
...Something like this will do the trick.
$myself = self_url;
print "<a href=\"$myself#table1\">See table 1</a>"; <=== really?
I did find one site that implied there was a $cgi->a() method, but I found no documentation for it, nor how to close the tag with /a. One slashdot suggestion was to ^F for anchor on the CGI docs, and it came back RED. Is the practice truly to abandon CGI.pm for this requirement and instead print? I've become disciplined to use Perl CGI to generate all HTML , so this seems very unnatural.
Regards to all Monks!
