CGIs & CSS - References

Hi gang

I'm working on my first CGIs, and have been adding stylesheets. I'm currently working
on my own machine, under localhost. I have two questions;

(1) What's the contemporary way to print xhtml from my CGI? Should I use CGI.pm,
or something else? I currently just have a mess of print commands.

(2) My stylesheets don't work with @import - Apache claims that it can't find the file.
They _do_ work with a hard reference like
<link rel="style***" type="text/css" href="http://localhost/the_style***.css"; />

I've been advised that @import is the way to go, and either way I need relative references
to the stylesheets. I can only assume that it's an http.conf thing that I haven't been able
to google up.

Thanks

Mike
