[HRPM] Form generation

[Gee Gwaltney]

	I'm trying to teach myself to use perl. In a sample form script
the author begins the script with:-
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);
print header(), start_html("Ice Cream Stand"), h1("Ice Cream Stand");
I would like to add body background color but I can't find how to do it.
I would like to open a file such as slate.gif to do this.
Could someone show me how to do this or point me to an information
source?
