++, Liverpole and ditto to explorer

Code below is based on the guess that that OP is trying to create a static file ...and, at that, perhaps only on a non-server box:

#!usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

use vars qw($out);

$out = "test060718.htm";

open( OUTPUT, ">", "$out") or die "Can't open $out \n";
    
    # Send content-type -- NOT needed if sending to a file
    # print "content-type: text/html \n\n";
    
    # OUTPUT Header Section #
    print OUTPUT "<html>\n";
    print OUTPUT "<head>\n";
    print OUTPUT "<title>Created By Perl</title>\n";
           #\title fixed to /title as per [explorer] 's node, below
    print OUTPUT "</head>\n";
    
    # HTML Body #
    print OUTPUT "<body>\n";
   print OUTPUT "foo\n<h1>bar</h1>\n</body></html>\n";

produces:

<html>
<head>
<title>Created By Perl</title>
</head>
<body>
foo
<h1>bar</h1>
</body></html>
