I like that one.

That too.

Eek, no! I don't want no steenking p() functions etc. to generate HTML
on the fly! That is one feature I never ever use. It also conflicts with
the remark about memory usage. Plus, do we need a new Perl upgrade every
time a new HTML tag comes out? I think not. Keep HTML tags out of Perl.
If people want it, they can use an easiliy updateble module.
CGI::Minimal would be more like it.
