in reply to Is it possible to print out CGI fields using the qq operator?

How about:
use CGI qq(:standard);

print qq{
<sometag>
@{[textfield(-name=>'cgifield',-size=>'20')]}
<sometag>
};

(This prints:
<sometag>
<input type="text" name="cgifield" size="20" />
<sometag>

Admittedly, it is still a bit cumbersome...

    That's because GGI.pm's HTML generation methods produce XHTML, rather than HTML 4. They have, in fact, been doing so for a long time, as enthusiastically pointed out by merlyn here.
