You don't have to intermix HTML and Perl -- you just can when you need/want to.

You can also separate your application into some Mason documents that present data and others (or better yet, non-Mason Perl Modules) that hold the business logic and interact with your database.

Mason provides syntactic sugar to control the interface between the two and by allowing perl in your presentation layer, you have a great deal of power/flexibility in generating HTML.

Mason also allows nice modularity of various presentation elements and combining them in various ways to produce user interfaces.

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.
