I've been mucking around with CGI.pm recently and I keep having strange problems. The first was that CGI::Pretty ended up generating html that was impossible to distinguish from that generated by the standard CGI module. Is there something beyond "use CGI::Pretty" required to get this module to do anything?

Currently I'm looking at the start_table. This works but doesn't seem to recognize attributes (such as -align=>'center', -border=>0, -cellpadding=>8) recognized by the  <table> tag. I went ahead and upgraded to the latest CGI.pm - still no luck. Should just look like  start_table(-align=>'center', -border=>0, -cellpadding=>8) right? Am I missing something obvious? Many thanks.
