A CGI Script that Creates HTML

Print the magic HTTP header Content-type: text/html\n\n, and then the HTML code for the page.

Code:


  #!/usr/bin/perl
  # file: chaucer.pl

  print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

  print "<html><head><title>Chaucer</title></head><body>\n";
  print "<h1>Chaucer Sez</h1>\n";
  
  print "When that Aprill with his shoures soote<br>\n";
  print "The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,<br>\n";
  print "And bathed every veyne in swich licour<br>\n";
  print "Of which vertu engendered is the flour...<p>\n";

  print "<cite>-Geoffrey Chaucer</cite>\n";
  print "<hr>\n";
  print "</body></html>\n";
