img function in GGI.pm

kosta has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi I am using a CGI.pm to generate some html output

 td(img({-src=>'/css/ico/notepencil32.png', -alt=>'ahoj', -height=>'23
+', -width=>'23' -id=>'myid'}))
                ])),
[download]

But I just cant get it to accept the id for the image It comes out like this

<img height="23" src="/css/ico/notepencil32.png" myid width="23"/>
[download]

Whats the problem? Why cant I assign the id attribute?

`td(img({-src=>'/css/ico/notepencil32.png', -alt=>'ahoj', -height=>'23' +, -width=>'23' -id=>'myid'})) + ^` [download] You omitted the comma (so you're subtracting `'id'` from 23...). With warnings on, you'd have gotten `"Argument "id" isn't numeric in subtraction (-) at ..."` Update: ...and this is for the downvoter, who was apparently too lazy to test himself: `$ perl -wMCGI=:standard -le"print img({-src=>'/css/ico/notepencil32.pn +g', -alt=>'ahoj', -height=>'23', -width=>'23', -id=>'myid'})" <img height="23" src="/css/ico/notepencil32.png" id="myid" width="23" +alt="ahoj" />` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

oh gosh oh gosh! It is always the little things that get me. Always! In some ways I love vim, I hate it in others (would have never happened with eclipse)	[reply]

It would have been obvious with better layout in emacs with any perl mode too because the indentation breaks. I suspect vim has similar behavior. So just changing to shorter, more legible line widths will help on a couple of levels- `img({ -src=>'/css/ico/notepencil32.png', -alt=>'ahoj', -height=>'23', -width=>'23' -id=>'myid'})` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
