I'm sorry I guess I should have been more specific in my question, I
never wanted to try and put perl code ino my HTML page, I know that that
is impossible because the browser has no clue what to do with it, what I
am asking about is embedding the text/html the CGI.pm generates into a
page where I do have my style at.

I have tried that and when I tried to call up a div object, in my css
(is attached) called leftcolumn, instead of getting a navy blue column
on the left side of the page it is just white.

No I am letting CGI.pm generate the HTML for me, I figured that it would
be the easiest way to do it.

- From what I see in the tutorial,
http://template-toolkit.org/docs/tutorial/Web.html#section_Dynamic_Content_Generation_Via_CGI_Script,
the Templete Toolkit only outputs information from the script, but I
need it to handle input as well, my script I am working on is a
guestbook so it needs to get the name of the guest and a message then
output it, as well as save it to a log for later use by the script.
Everything works but the plain white background is ugly and doesn't
match the rest of my site which is why I started this thread.
