pitbull3000 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

i try to include two external javascript files with the following code into the output html file, but it always just prints the last one, and not both... any clue how i could solve this 
print $query->start_html(-script=>{
                          -src=>'../assets/bwcheck.js',
                          -src=>'../assets/scroller.js'},
                          );

Re: how to set two script sources with cgi.pm start_html

    To do this correctly you need to do something pass an arrayref for the -script argument like this: 

    print $query->start_html(-script=>[
                          {-src=>'../assests/bwcheck.js'},
                          {-src=>'../assests/scroller.js'},
                         ]);

    This is well documented in the CGI.pm documentation for start_html.

        Which version of CGI do you have installed? What does it print? Here's what I get, on Perl 5.5.3, with CGI version 2.752. 
        $ perl
use CGI;
my $query = CGI->new();
print $query->start_html(-script=>[
                          {-src=>'../assests/bwcheck.js'},
                          {-src=>'../assests/scroller.js'},
                         ]);
