Re: first steps with mod_perl

Thank you Gunnar,

I know how to print in Perl! My question was about CGI.pm Module, and
how the default DTD is set: by the version of the CGI-Mudule, or by
Apache-Config ...

Strangely Matthew Hellman answered again off-list and suggested the
following code, which finally gave me an idea, how to insert the DTD
the right way:


print start_html(       -title=>'Secrets of the Pyramids',
                        -author=>'[email protected]',
                        -base=>'true',
                        -target=>'_blank',
                        -meta=>{'keywords'=>'pharaoh secret mummy',
                        'copyright'=>'copyright 1996 King Tut'},
                        -style=>{'src'=>'/styles/style1.css'},
                        -BGCOLOR=>'blue',
                        -dtd=>[ '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN',

'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd' ]
                );

Why the programmer of CGI.pm did not provide a simple Hash like

-dtd=>'xhtml strict'
-dtd=>'xhtml transitional'


...


Would be so easy! Why are in the docs no hints, how to insert the
DTD ?
Ok thanks guys of this group here. Also if the replies were not very
helpful.
