in reply to Not getting clean HTML using print

In the strings to print, you should escape the double quotes, i.e. print "hello \"world\""; would print hello "world".

This is the short answer, the longer and better one is that you could have a look at the CGI module that makes generating HTML a lot less painful. Various tutorials can be found in the monastry. A number of templating systems exists, HTML::Template comes to mind.

Hope this helps, -gjb-

    or use alternative quotes: 

    print 'hello "world"';
print qq{hello "world"};
