The output is principaly for generating HTML pages but can be used for make an XML file.

You are right, but this package is made for writing valid HTML page easily. Many perl developpers don't use directly the tags like this : print "<a href='#'> <b>myURL</b> </a>" but uses the mod_cgi like this : print a({href=>'#'}, b("myURL")) Why ? because this method make a valid code. It's impossible to forget an </tag>, or the end / of <br /> or cross close tags like this : <b><i>Hello</b></i> > > Just my 2 cts. > > Stephan
