If you don't use templates then half way through your project you'll wish you had. I've seen quite a few horror stories in the shops I've worked at and have seen them all dissapear one I managed to advocate HTML::Template to my manager.
As mentioned in a node above, separation of display, logic (and data) will make your coding life much easier. You imply that using templates introduces some form of spaghetti into your code, frankly (IMHO) nothing could be further from the truth. Just try HTML::Template or the Template Toolkit in a project and you'll see for yourself.

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).
