The function prints an entire HTML page. So I am inclined to put the header in the function. Plus, it's more simple for novice users to write: `printHTML();` [download] Instead of using the CGI module and writing: `print header, printHTML();` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

HTML and HTTP headers are two different things, so it's a good idea to have them in separate functions. For lazy users, you can provide a wrapper third function which calls both: `sub print_everything_with_extra_cheese { print header(); print printHTML(); }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
