Ok. I think I get it now. I'm running this as a perl batch script to create the html and then ftp it to our webserver to display the html. This is not meant to be used as a batch script I guess. Maybe CGI::WIDGET::TABS is not the right module for me to use? My goal was to generate the html one time, put in on the webserver, and have tabs that would display the relevant content when each tab was selected. Is what I'm looking to do possible with this module?
