Dear Wise monks

I am currently having to write html from within perl cgi script. I want to break up a long html document into divisions and link them from the very top (like a table of contents type thing).

You know that with standard html, links within the same page can be accomplished with  <a href="#somestuff"> Some stuff</a>, and then having something like  <a name="somestuff"> at the point where you want to anchor that link.

My problem is that in my cgi script the '#' in the middle appears to turn the remaining line of code into a comment and it does not get processed. For example where I have something like

print $cgi->ul(
    $cgi->li($cgi->a({href=>"#somestuff"},'Somestuff Info.')), 
    $cgi->li($cgi->a({href=>"#someotherstuff"},'Someotherstuff Info.')
+)  
        );

I find that it doesn't get processed. The link appears to form alright, but it does not work. It rather tries to process a script in that directory and Apache returns a 'file not found' error

Please does anyone know a fix for this. This might really be redundant stuff but please bear with my naivity.

And thanks so much for your time
