Hi Tom,

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I don't see the problem.  This:

  print $q->start_html(
    -title=>'The Riddle of the Sphinx',
    -script=>[
      { 
        -language => 'JavaScript',
        -src      => '/javascript/utilities10.js'
      },
      { 
        -language => 'JavaScript',
        -src      => '/javascript/utilities11.js'
      },
    ]
  );

Prints this:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <!DOCTYPE html
          PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN"
          "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic10.dtd">
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-US"><head><title>The Riddle of the
Sphinx</title>
  <script language="JavaScript" src="/javascript/utilities10.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script language="JavaScript" src="/javascript/utilities11.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  </head><body>

Can you provide us with a larger code snippet?  What version of CGI.pm are you using?  Also, when
you say it doesn't work, what output are you expecting and what output are you actually getting?

Cheers,
Ovid
