in reply to cgi question

Another way to do this might be this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI;

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
print "<p>resource input</p>\n";
print "<h1>resource</h1>\n";

Second way might be: 
print << "END_OF_HTML";
Content-Type: text/html\n\n
<p>resource input</p>
<h1>resource</h1>
END_OF_HTML

Might take a look at Ovid's Course

Thanks to jeffa for pointing this node out: (Ovid - CSS in external file) Re: CGI

Update: Changed first line as it wasn't worded right and added last line

"Pain is weakness leaving the body, I find myself in pain everyday" -me

    Just because the original poster forgot a semi-colon does not mean that we should persuade them from using CGI.pm's HTML generation methods, IMHO. All preferences aside, at least promote header: 
    use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw(header param);

print header();
print "<p>resource input</p>\n";
print "<h1>resource</h1>\n";

    But for something this small, why type all of that when what the OP had (with that semi-colon in the right place) works just fine?

    Kudos, howver, for promoting Ovid's stuff. ;)
