there is formatting for perl.. lots and lots of it... if you are referring to how it prints stuff. adam@aauser.com

If you are referring to just using a CSS document for some HTML that you print out with Perl, all you would have to do it the following:
#!usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print "<html><head><title>this is the title</title>\n";
print "<style>\n";
print "a {color:black}\n";
print "a.hover {color:white}\n";
print "</style></head><body>\n";
print "</body></html>\n";
Is that what you were referring to?
Hope this helps,

it will format the code when it is printed to the browser... the browser handles these things... perl just makes the output. adam@aauser.com
If you have HTML tags in the Perl script that are outputting to a browser, you can call an external CSS file just as you would with a plain HTML file. Just don't forget to escape any quotes or it will crash. You may or may not need to use "print" depending upon how your HTML section it written. In some, I can do it this way:
[tt]print "<link rel=stylesheet href=\"style.css\" type=\"text/css\">\n";[/tt]
While in others, a plain HTML tag will do:
[tt]<link rel=stylesheet href="style.css" type="text/css">[/tt]
The style sheet may need to be located somewhere other than your cgi-bin, in which case, you will need a full or relative path to it.
