Rob,
Have you considered useing the object oriented
method? It is a little bit more complicated, BUT it
will work.
use strict;
use warnings
use CGI;
my $CgiObject = new CGI;
my $STRING = "There are not any trains running on thi
day.<br>Use the date dropdowns above to select
adifferent day.";
my $htmlString =
$CgiObject->p
(
$CgiObject->center
(
$CgiObject-strong($STRING)
)
);
