Re: Unstickying CGI

This is slightly offtopic and very nitpicky and may very well get me voted down but HTML should have quoted attribute values:

print "<input name=\"$name\" value=\"$value\">\n";

The same code written in XHTML 1.0:

print "<input name=\"$name\" value=\"$value\" />\n";

Also, I find that if you have to escape more then one quote, you're probably better off invoking qq{} with different delimiters, like <code>print qq{<input name="$name" value="$value" /> (I almost always write XHTML; no good reason not too.) Also, you should be more careful if $name or $value potentialy contain quotes. Confession: It does an Immortal Body good.	[reply]
