There are multiple ways you can do this. You might want to investigate using HTML::Template and friends instead of embedding your HTML inside your code. If you still want to embed your HTML inside your code one way to embed your for loop is to use two print statements instead of one. The first prints everything up to and just shy of what the for loop is doing and the other everything after the for loop.
sub buildHTML {
my $html = <<!firsthalf
something
something
!firsthalf
foreach my $iter(@whatever) {
$html = sprintf "%s %s",$html, $something else;
}
my $html2 =<<!secondhalf;
other stuff
!secnodhalf
return $html . $html2
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
