in reply to Basic CGI

I suggest you read a bit more about it... here's a quicky example(untested)

### file 1 called functions.pl 

#!perl

sub &printHtml {
# here you can print your html..
# you can do so using CGI.pm or you can manually print them..
# I assume you don't know what CGI.pm is also, so you can do this:
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<EOF;
<HTML>
<body>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
</body>
</html>
EOF
}

1; # return true.

### Here is the main file index.pl 


#!perl

require './functions.pl';

# so here you can do this :

&printHTML;

you have a lot to read, I suggest you get yourself a good Perl book and start learning.
