I've trimmed the irrelevant stuff, am the core of what I'm trying is the following: #!/usr/local/bin/perl use POSIX; use CGI; $q = new CGI; print $q->header, $q->start_html(-title=>'New page', -head=>meta({-http_equiv => 'Content-Type', -content => 'text/html'})); print <<EOT; This is the generated HTML. </body> </html> EOT In my browser (netscape) I get a "500 Internal Server error", or run from a shell I get: Undefined subroutine &main::meta called at test.pl line 7. Any ideas? Thanks.
