Assuming you're using OS 9, just open up the 'shuck' app in your MacPerl
folder, lookup (cmd-L) 'CGI'. You should get a long manpage on CGI.pm.
Scroll down until you get to the section titled 'LIMITED SUPPORT FOR
CASCADING STYLE SHEETS' (about three-quarters of the way down).
If you're on OS X, just type 'perldoc CGI' at the command line, and hit space
to scroll down a page 'til you get to 'LIMITED SUPPORT...'.

It's calling a CSS class defined _somewhere_, be it in the page (in
<style>...</style> tags), or pulled from somewhere else (<link> or similar).
A 'style' attribute defines the CSS code itself -- i.e., style="color: red".

You could do either
print $q->p({-style => $CSS_code}, "Stylin'!");
where $CSS_code is something like 'color: red', or
print $q->p({-class => $CSS_class_name}, "Classy!");
where $CSS_class_name is something like 'myStyle', which could either be defined
in the HTML page itself or in a .css file that's been <link>'d to the page.

It's the cleanest way to print large amounts of text.

Hope that helps, and hope I didn't totally misunderstand the question,
