Subject: CGI.pm annoying xHTML output
Message-Id: <mn.5b087d648a5db7f5.52380@request.net>
Hello,
when creating a form with CGI.pm, no matter if it is
use CGI;
$q = new CGI qw /:all -debug/;
print header and start the html etc..
print $q->start_form; OR
print $q->start_multipart_form();
print $q->textfield('blah');
print $q->end_form;
#etc..
it *always* returns an obsolete trailing HTML "<div></div>" container
before the closing tag of the form.
Any ideas ? It seems not to be
a known issue.
(Perl 5.8.1 on linux)

Those lines should read:
use CGI qw/:all -debug/;
my $q = new CGI;
> print $q->end_form;

A browse through CGI.pm indicates it outputs that div container if
sticky is on, so do this:
use CGI qw/:all -debug -nosticky/;
or call:
CGI::nosticky(1);
before ending the form.

Ok.
Is the lexical variable really mandatory ?

Thanks, and I indeed didn't think about checking the module itself..

Are you using the latest version of CGI? That problem went away when I
installed 3.15.

If you're using 'use strict' (as you should be) it's a good idea.

A quick note to inform my fellow Perl users and developers that my new
book "Code Quality: The Open Source Perspective" (Addison-Wesley, 2006)
has just been published. All 623 examples I use in the book are drawn
from actual code, and Perl (particularly its testing framework) is one
of the packages I used for drawing examples. Perl was also instrumental
in automating the book's production process. For more details you can
visit the book's web site at <http://www.spinellis.gr/codequality?clpm>.

Its in the perldiag manpage :
UTF-16 surrogate %s
(W utf8) You tried to generate half of an UTF-16 surrogate by requesting a
Unicode character between the code points 0xD800 and 0xDFFF (inclusive). That
range is reserved exclusively for the use of UTF-16 encoding (by having two 16-
bit UCS-2 characters); but Perl encodes its characters in UTF-8, so what you
got is a very illegal character. If you really know what you are doing you can
turn off this warning by "no warnings 'utf8';".

Why? What will happen else?
BTW: I got 2 links with informations concerning XS programming:
http://inline.perl.org
http://www.netthink.co.ok/downloads
However, both links seem to be broken: connecting to the first results
in a timeout, the second points me to the home page of a provider who
telled me the the owner of the netthink domain is not longer hosted by him.
Perhaps someone knows the right URLs?
MTIA and kind greetings from Vienna,
