Fellow monks,
I encountered a strange problem while writing a CGI script for a site I'm developing. Here's the scoop:
print header,
start_html (-title => 'Welcome to 0.0.0.0!',
Link ({-rel => 'stylesheet', type => 'text/css', href =>
+ 'style.css'}),
base ({-href => 'http://0.0.0.0/cgi-bin/dir/'}),
),
body ({-vlink => 'black'})
The preceeding causes the proceeding:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic10.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-US"><head><title>T
+he POSIX Network</title>
</head><body <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /
+>="<base href="http://skeptical.no-ip.com/cgi-bin/posixnet/&q
+uot; />"><body vlink="black" />,
As you can see, it appears as the opening body tag is not being closed, and the tag delimters are converted into their counter-equivalent
(whatever that means) [<,
>,
"]
Any explanation of what is going on will be helpful.
Regards,
Dusk

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
