munchie has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
On page 110 in the Learning Perl (3rd Edition)(2nd footnote):
These examples are intentionally not HTML, because there are too many tricks things that crop up in real HTML, or any similar language like XML or SGML. If you need to work with HTML, don't use simple patterns like these. Get a rhobust module from CPAN, so that you can start with code that's already written and debugged. If you don't, we promise that you'll be sorry. Don't say we didn't warn you.

My question is simply: Is there a particular module they had in mind (merlyn... :-) ), and if not, any recommendations for good HTML modules?
