There is no CGI->html() function, as far as I know. You would have to do what Sinistral did, with sending headers and the complete HTML document.
Also, when writing web applications, a good tip is to use CGI::Carp, like so:
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser ); #Comment out when you release.
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;
print $q->header( "text/html" ),
$q->start_html( "Status" ),
$q->h1( "Status is ".
$q->param( "StatusFilterSelect" )
),
$cgi->end_html();
