Remember to keep your forms cross-site-scripting safe.
Example:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI ();
my $q = CGI->new();
# Your logic here.
print <<EOF;
<html><body>
<form name="form1" action="form.pl" method="POST">
EOF
print q~
Username:
<input
type="text"
name="user_name"
value="@{[ HTMLEncode( $q->param('user_name') ) ]}" >
<br>
Password:
<input
type="text"
name="user_password"
value="@{[ HTMLEncode( $q->param('user_password') ) ]}" >
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
~;
print <<EOF;
</form>
</body>
</html>
EOF
#==========================================================
sub HTMLEncode
{
my ($str) = @_;
$str =~ s/&/&/g;
$str =~ s/"/"/g;
$str =~ s/</</g;
$str =~ s/>/>/g;
return $str;
}# end HTMLEncode()

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
