+HTML::Base is an expansion module for Perl 5 which provides
+an object-oriented way to build pages of HTML. Its purpose
+is to create HTML tags at the lowest level of functionality,
+that is to say, it creates HTML and doesn't do much else.
+Specifically, it does not provide any CGI-like services
+(see the CGI modules for that!).
+
+Currently, the module supports all of the HTML 2.0 tags,
+plus some selected tags from HTML 3.0, and some Netscape-isms.
