Color Vs. No Color question

I recently made a discovery of more than passing interest to me. Those 
perl programs written with object oriented perl are drained of their 
color on Mozilla browsers and Netscape 7. Those written with print 
statements using html tags retain their color. Both types of programs 
always retain their color on older versions of Netscape and on Internet 
Explorer. Do I have to use html tags to retain color on all browsers?

See:

==============================================
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#!/perl/bin/perl -w
use strict;use CGI;
my $co = new CGI;
print $co->header,
$co->start_html(-title=>'test1',-bgcolor=>'DDDDDD'),
$co->start_form(-method=>'POST',-action=>'./test1.pl');
print 'This is test1';
print $co->end_form(),
$co->end_html;
==============================================
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#!/perl/bin/perl -w
use strict;use CGI;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n",
'<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>test2</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="CCCCCC">
<form name="form2" method="post" action="test2.pl">
This is test2
</form>
</body>
</html>';
==============================================
I intend to be at the meeting tomorrow (Tuesday).
