    Hi all,

    I am having a hard time linking a css file to a template when using the HTML::Template Module.

    Here is what i have:

    1) myserver/cgi-bin folder, which has all the .pl files.
    2) myserver/html folder, which has the template, CSS and html files

    the template files have extension .tmpl

    If i call an external CSS file like below:

    It doesnt work,

    but if i embed the same CSS code in the:


    then it works fine.

    I have tried my best, and i dont want to give up on it.

    Please help.

    Thankyou so much.

    Try giving <link rel="stylesheet" href="./test.css" type="text/css" /> see the "./" or even test with the absolute path and see what is going wrong and step down to the actual path that is relative to the page requesting css.

    thanks Shabbir,

    I got a reply from another forum and now it works for me,

    what you gotta do is to provide the url instead of a path (absolute or relative - both didnt work for me)

    below is the code:

    if the css file is in the /var/www/html folder and the css file is style.css

    the code will look like:

    hope it helps others

    Thats the way to specify the absolute URL but for relative one you can use "./" and "../" to achieve the same. You can check the source code of the current page and you will see the relative css is linked.
