Although I have used this trick for very simple scripts I find it a dangerous concept for general purpose use at it 're-integrates' the Perl and HTML, albeit in a more maintainable form than using CGI.pm or just using HERE documents.

What does that mean ? I dont know how separating code and html will be dangerous.

I have successfully used templates for my smaller scripts. There has been times when I had to dump a concise text report or a long html report. I could do that by just switching the templates, without the core part of the script having to bother what kind of report we are going to generate. I thought templates are a boon when doing that. There is also an article in The Perl Review Separating Code, Presentation, and Configuration that deals with this in detail.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
