Re^2: Printing content-type in the proper context

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();

Instead of using the CGI module and writing:

print header, printHTML();

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]
