Perl/CGI is most definitely obsolete. Check out these if you want to write webapps in Perl nowadays:
Personally, I've found the combination of those three to be the most flexible environment and the best disposed towards very rapid development that I've used yet. In case you are wondering, I've done development in mod_perl, Perl/CGI, JSP/Struts, PHP and ASP. Admittedly, I have not touched the last two in quite some time, and I hear they've made some great progess, but I still have a great distaste for them (anything relying on embedding logic code in HTML is just not a great solution in my book).

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
