Current versions of CGI.pm should generate XHTML by default, iirc.

Check the perldoc & upgrade if necessary.

So just use that then.

If you really really want to have them in an @import call in the HTML,
reconsider. The <link ...> approach should be fine. If you still want
to do it this way, please clarify how you're trying to implement it.

Can you construct a simple HTML file with the same @import call that
fails in the same way your CGI script does? If so, then CGI is ruled out
as a culprit and the problem is with the URL, or with Apache; if the
page works that way, then something your CGI is doing is breaking.
