You don't have to use the CGI.pm code all the time. For something like this, where you can't seem to get it to work and the docs aren't clear (dunno if they are or not, i've not looked the info up for your question) you can always just print the info out manually, or, if you call it a lot, write a small function for it. Usually CGI.pm just takes something like -option=>value and turns it into option=value in a tag. Personally, I usually write my own HTML, instead of relying on CGI.pm to do it for me. Two of the plusses for rolling your own is control of the text and formatting.
