The key here is to separate out unrelated concerns. You have two problems to work on, not one. But that makes it much easier to solve. Problem One: Forget about Perl completely, and create a pure HTML page by hand that works the way you want, with the CSS and everything it needs. Problem Two: Now that you have a working HTML page, create or update the Perl code to generate that page. For Problem One, you can start with your existing page that has trouble. Just do a Save As... in the browser and save the HTML source only (not "Web page, complete") to a file. Or do a View Source and save it from there. By splitting the task this way, you will be able to concentrate on finding out just what is wrong with the CSS you're generating without being distracted by Perl issues. Once you do that it should be simple to get Perl to generate that code. If you solve Problem One and still have trouble with Problem Two (the Perl side), that would be outside the scope of this mailing list, but there are Perl lists where you could get help with that part. If there's trouble with Problem One, then of course this is the place to ask.
