Am trying to generate some HTML using HTML::Tiny, which has been a good resource, up until now! I want to create an HTML5 tag of audio, such as: 

<audio controls>
src = "file.mp3", type = "audio/mpeg"
</audio>

[download]
using the perl code: 
$co->tag ('audio', { controls=>[], type => "audio\/mpeg", src => "$fil
+ename.".mp3"})

[download]
which produces this output: 
<audio controls="controls" src="theme1.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"></audio>

[download]
In the HTML::Tiny documentation, it states (from the CPAN depository) 
An empty attribute - such as 'checked' in a checkbox can be encoded by
+ passing an empty array reference:

print $h->closed( 'input', { type => 'checkbox', checked => [] } );
would print

<input checked type="checkbox" />

[download]
so what I want is an empty attribute for my "controls" part of the audio tag, which is obviously what is not happening. Any guidance? regards ADB

In reply to HTML::Tiny, null parameter tags contradicting documentation by gsd4me
