I'm also a fan of here documents, and sometimes of
embedded-code solutions such as Apache::eperl or
Apache::embperl. What I find easiest to do is to write up
the HTML with no code in it first (or ideally, have someone
else do that for me), and then stick in variables, etc.
later on. In order to keep the pages themselves clean
looking, I find it a good idea to separate functions into
a file or files that are then required, and have only
variables and function calls within the HTML itself. It's
very straightforward, and the whole thing basically becomes
a template easily edittable by a non-coder.

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).
