HTML Tag Generation

In addition to the form-generation methods, CGI.pm includes a group of methods for creating HTML tags. The names of the HTML tag methods generally follow the HTML tag name (e.g., p for <P>) and take named parameters that are assumed to be valid attributes for the tag (e.g., img(src=>'camel.gif') becomes <IMG SRC="camel.gif">). We do not list all tags in this book; see the CGI.pm manpage for more information, or the book Official Guide to Programming with CGI.pm by Lincoln Stein (John Wiley & Sons, 1998).
