Update: OK, I just found out that CGI.pm supports an "any" pragma which allows the creation of 'ad hoc' HTML tags.

But, I did not use this pragma (called with "-any") in the code above and yet I can still create these 'ad hoc' tags. Any ideas?

Update to update: OK, it appears that the "-any" pragma is enabled whenever using the ":standard" export tag. When I don't use ":standard", I get an error for an unknown subroutine. According to the CGI.pm documentation, ":standard" in turn calls export tags :html2, :form, and :cgi. I'm guessing it's one of these turns "-any" on. None of this appears to be documented. Does anyone know the ins and outs of all this?

$PM = "Perl Monk's";
$MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot";
$nysus = $PM . $MCF;
