You generate wrong HTML:

print "<link type='text/css' rel='stylesheet' href='/public_html/style +.css'>\n";

You use ' as quote character for attributes but this is wrong. Do it like this:

print qq|<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/public_html/sty +le.css">\n|;

UPDATE: Now you also know why using a templating engine isn't too bad. ;-)

UPDATE2: Choroba pointed (Re^2: CGI and CSS) out that I'm wrong and single quotes are allowed for attributes in HTML. I was so sure to "see" the problem that I didn't verify it. That was a mistake. Look at the other comments and recommendations. They are all better than mine. Sorry.

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
