CGI.pm 3.x is supposed to have the args processing and html generation separated.

Ah, so there is. I grep'd an older version which didn't since I'd never heard of it before. You use Apache::Request to get query parameters the same way you do with CGI.pm's param() method. perldoc Apache::Request. Did you could try just importing the CGI.pm HTML functions? Personally, I prefer Template Toolkit for HTML generation. There are other templating systems too. Search the archives for discussions on the subject. Or as Stas suggested, check out the version 3 beta. I've been using it on my personal web server for a few months with no problems, though I don't use any of the HTML generation features. --Jeff At 10:32 AM 8/30/00 +0400, Alexei V.
