I am using CGI, which all references I have found says declare_xml is set to false, yet after calling start_html( and a bunch of parameters), I keep getting the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
    PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
     "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Code is as follows:
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
print $query->header(-type=>'text/html', -declare_xml=>0);
    print $query->start_html(-title=>'Blah blah blah.',
    -background=>"../images/$SiteName.background.jpg",
    -link=>'brown',
    -vlink=>'#8b4513',
    
    -style=>{'src'=>"$SiteName.styles.css"},
    -script=>{ -language=>'JavaScript', -src=>"$SiteName.scripts.js" }
};

Any ideas?

Thanks,
