No, I'm saying I achieve this by avoiding building the page using CGI, which I find takes much longer, more effort, and use a template file which I populate dynamically. I have to cater for IE6 users (sadly), using the same method you posted. See HTML::Template Tutorial, Framework, Templating, and Content Management Systems from the Web Programming tutorials.

well, you're saying that there is no way, right?

I think he's saying you have to write it, but its better to switch to templates as early as possible, because the alternative is this

monkeypatching one of CGI.pm's very complicated html generation subroutines, no test written for test suite

I suppose it might be more genetic to accept

{ 'src' => '/styles/ie1.css', 
  -wrapp => [ '<!--[if lte IE 6]>', '<![endif]-->' ],
},
