in reply to order in cgi function output ?

There are evil hacks, for example you could tie an ordered hash and pass that to CGI.

But when you need fine graded control over the HTML output, I recommend to use a template system like HTML::Template::Compiled, Template::Toolkit, Template::Alloy.

    Actually, if you look at the source for CGI::start_html(), you'll see that an ordered hash would make no difference. 

    for(    start_html({
            -title => "title",
            -style => {
                -src => [
                    "/$common_css",
                    "/$css",
                    "/$common_cal_css",
                    "/$cal_css",
                    "/ie.css",
                ],
            },
        })
) {
    s{(<[^>]+/ie\.css[^>]+>)}{<!--[if IE]>$1<![endif]-->};
    print;
}
