Surely you meant to map to stylesheet classes? Does anyone still hardcode colors into their code these days? It is 2004 afterall....

Do you find it vaguely inefficient to use 3000+ lines of code + your 18 to do what <30 lines of code (or one line as a call when you modularise it) will do just as well, faster and in a more transparent maintainable and consistent manner?

Hmm does that sound biased? OK I admit it. I think CGI.pm has no place in generating HTML in the first place, and don't like the interface. You either love it or you hate it. I have used it. I do hate it. Ovid likes it and so does merlyn. What can I say? They are obviously misguided, or I have no idea what I am talking about. Or perhaps they use what works for them as I use what works for me. Use what works for you. TIMTOWDI.
