It would be nice to know what exactly fails with CGI and XHTML Strict? You can also send a bug report about it.

If you are concerned about staying in the XHTML Strict spec, you can gain control of the output (without HEREDOCS) by going to a templating system. This also gains you the advantages of removing your presentation from your program logic, shortening your code, reuse of your XHTML, and overall easier maintainence.

You can choose from several excellent Templating Systems.

  • Template Toolkit
  • Mason
  • HTML::Template



    • grep
    Mynd you, mønk bites Kan be pretti nasti...
